Hi all, new member here, joined after searching a few things and found this site.

I've picked up a running 1991 YZ250 for 2 bottles of Jack Daniels, and I've decided to do a frame up rebuild as a fun project. I've always been a 4 stroke guy so this is all new territory for me. The bike has fuel running out the overflow of the carby and first gear doesn't work but it starts cold after 4 or 5 kicks and is complete.





I'm aiming to have it looking like this





but without the Ohlins bits obviously.

I'm going to have to split the cases to get to the gearbox, and I'll do top and bottom ends, bearings etc at the same time. I have a spare 1995 engine here that's apparently seized, I've stripped the cylinder off and the pistons in backwards for a start but not sure what else is wrong.

So, my first question is, is the '95 tranny different to the 91? Can I use the gear set from that bike in my build?

Thanks in advance for any answers.

Thanks mate, but I decided to stick with the stock magenta rebuild. This has stalled a bit, I've been mucking around with a 99 KX 125 as well so I haven't really done anything to this one lately.
