i have an 85 250r. about 4 months ago i ceased my trans. the bike starts but shuts off when i try to get it out of gear. i bought a trans off e bay and was woundering if i had to split the cases to replace it. thanks for any help

 

Yes, you'll have to. I would suggest getting a manual to assist you.

 

Should trans fuid/oil be checked and changed regularly??? I just got a 350X and was wondering if I should do that.

yeah I would get on a scale where you can keep it changed at about the same time. For example, I change my BigBears oil every 300 miles. Thats about 10 tanks of fuel. It doesnt really need to be changed that often but I like to keep it on the safe side. Set you up a system where you do it every so many tanks of fuel or every so many hours of riding, that way it keeps your internals in a nice fresh bath.

 

yea on your 350x change you oil because i lubricating your crank, piston, valves,a and tranny, i change my oil every 6 hard rides

 

Thanks, I was under the FALSE understanding that there was a seperate area for tranny oil. I now understand it's all one big place. I've only had the bike less than a week, I'm learning. I changed the oil and filter today....as well as the rear brake pads.

ill sell the 82 to you. it needs some TLC but it runs. i was going to put it in the paper

 

I'd love to, but my wife would kill me if I brought home another project. That bike would be a good start to my ATC480 dream/project though.....what are you asking???

Where in the LA area are you? I'm in Orange County, near Seal Beach.
