So i just recently got an 97 KX250 that runs perfectly and is in very good condition.
The only problem with the bike is 5th gear dropping to 4th almost immediatly after switching gears. Can i ride the bike altrought it drops gears? And will it break anything if i ride it with just the 4 gears.
Also the last owner of the bike had ridden the bike 1 time with the broken 5th gear. He told me that it drops immediatly and that it had holded 5th gear once for 200-300 metres.
