Just to start off hi new here so be gentle,

I bought two klx 250 one is 1996 only 21000 in very good condition with a gearbox problem, the other is 1998 thats got 32000 miles not so good condition but engine box excellent condition,

What the 1996 klx is doing it runs very well when I get it started so carbs need cleaning but that's another post, when I start the bike in neutral then put it in first start to ride the bike I can get it sometimes up to third then it will start to wind with no drive in any gear, when I stop and try find neutral the light come on and it's still wineing when I let the clutch out, if I put it into first the wineing stops as though its in neutral, it I leave it for a day or so it will find a gear then do exactly the same when I ride it.

I'm making one good bike to do green lanes, the other I'm stripping down to do a full rebuild to have a show piece, any help would be a great hope, not much experience with these gearboxes

I've attached my BMW gs that I revamped last year, looking to do the same with the klx

 

Welcome to the forum and nice looking GS. How about some pics of the KLX bikes?

I'm just guessing in the wind here, but maybe this is a clutch problem. Worn plates perhaps. Take the clutch cover off and have a look.

Enjoy your project.

 

I got some photos tonight post them
Thanks
