86 trx 250 utility shifting problem
I got a 86trx 250 I picked up cheap for a project, the steering shaft bearings were gone and I had a hard time finding them and ended up buying another frame for the bearings, I got it fixed and also got the motor running, runs great, but it doesn't go into gear, u can shift up through the gears fine but it doesn't engage, if you keep trying it sometimes it goes in gear and works fine but when shift it noithing again, just wondering if anybody has ran into the same problem before, as there are still alot of these old Honda's around,this 250 is same motor as the big red and 250sx, any help would be appreciated, thanks

Very unusual to have problems with this gearbox. However selector mechanisms are weak on the later "in line" Honda engines, particularly the star wheel comes loose on the shift drum, and the pawl which moves the star wheel can crack.
Don't know why you had problems getting steering bearings, they are loose ***** like an old bycycle, available from any bearing supplier. We ordered them from Honda and each ball came in a separate plastic bag, 30 + if I remember rightly.
