No, it doesnt pop out once its in. Its just hard to get in to a gear. I have to get the shifter all the way up then the 'click' is way at the top. If I dont get it all the way up, it goes into nuetral in from any gear. It looks like I may get home this weekend to tinker with it. We'll see

it sounds like bad gear oil

when i was running castrol 20-50w on my 250r it was a bitch to shift and had to bang it too get up like a whole up click


then i changed to factory honda lube and i shifted like butter

and also u have a 310 kit so thats alot of strain on that 250 tranny

[trx]

oh and have u rode it on the dirt yet at all


my 250r doesnt shift pretty good on cememt becouse no tire spin to much stress on the tranny


but on dirt becouse the tires spin it will shift becouse less stress on the shift forks

Hmmm, when you took the tranny out of the cases did one of the gears on the end of the shaft slip off and then you put it back on??? If so you might have put it on backwards and it's rubbing against the case. When you put the cases back together did it shift easily through the gears and the counter sprocket spun with ease? Do this if you can, remove the chain and with the bike in neutral see if the sprocket spins on it's own with a good twist of the finger. If it doesn't spin freely then you know a gear inside is on backwards. I have been there and done that one. If it's not then better for you and the problem must be with the shift star.

Nothing is rubbing. Im sure the gears are in there correctly, I double and tripple checked. I tested it when I first put the cases together. Everything turned smoothly. Everything turns smoothly now, it just doesnt go into gear all the way without really lifting up on the shifter, and then its hard to get it back to first. As long as its in gear I can go WOT till I need to shift again

Then it has to do with your shift star and those parts or the clutch needs to be adjusted. A mal-adjusted clutch will also give shitty shifting.

I agree with what 370 said, its in the linkage.

Don't worry. Last weekend I was putting the finishing touches for round one of my project 250R when I was putting on the exhaust, a friend noticed the rear motor mount had cracked. Shot all my plans down the crapper and I finally got it welded and back together tonight. Unfortunately, I still haven't got to ride it...
