After unloading my AF today I noticed a pronounced clicking noise coming from the tranny area while rolling it into the back yard, its not constant and not very often but its definatly something that wasnt there before


Tranny shifts fine and nothing seems out of the ordinary apart from that clicking, any ideas?

i know what im about to say has nothing to do with your gear box have you checked your discs i have a slightly bend front disc at the moment at it makes the caliper ping when being pushed happened on my last ride and i am replacing it with a oversize rotor

You are right it has nothing to do with the gearbox.

I suggest you take the chain off and push it around, no noise it has nothing to do with the rest of the bike.

Then find some way of turning the counter shaft to see if the noise is coming from your gearbox, no noise?

Then it has to be your chain causing the noise.

the 500 my bro rides did that, 4th gear had like 6 teeth knocked off it and it would carry for a bit on the dawgs, then click as it gained traction in gear mesh, i'll post ya a pic. it did it for a long dammn tme before i took it apart so the gears eventually wouldnt hold 4th at all

if you can verify for sure that it is coming from the gear box... then its time to open her up!

click, click, click................

ooops, thats not supposed to happen

of coarse, my concern would be about the missing teeth damaging the rest of the trans.

they grab onto the drain plug magnet real quick unless they get snagged up somwhere in the trans

um, you have a magnetic drain plug? thats not stock. do you think brit is gonna pay like $10 for a magnetic plug?

the face of the gears were like slivers in the bottom of the case, output shaft bearing was packed with it, clutches glittery + it screwed the gears on both sides too, forks, drum, clutch lifter bearing, easier to say what was good i guess. I just dumped the cases in a pail and put a different set with different shafts + everything in it

it just cost us 1500 aud for the rebuild we done on the o1 but thats nearly all new everything

I'm pretty sure brit has a spare trans..

2 of 'em


I aint pullin the motor untill my buddy leaves (nov 11th) Ill change the oil and see if theres any shrapnel floating about

Well see how it takes a dumont trip

that'll be great, then you can buy cases too

brit i think your gears are fine unless you had one of them defective from the factory or ran dirt through the gearbox. aint like anybody around here is breaking them with too much power. 250r tranny holds up pretty well to the saber/puma and those are alot more ponies than any 500 around this joint. roostious might have defective gears also.

Drained the oil just now and aside from being low (only got 500ml out) it was clear of any metal.

The acid test is gonna be the 35 miles of poker run im doing at 8am tomorrow

I looked at the top of the left gear and thought that doesn't look that bad.

Then I caught sight of the bottom of the right gear and like Danny said "thats not supposed to happen"

What caused that to happen?

just looks like a gear failure to me. possibly alot of load all at once from wheel spin then traction. or cracking the throttle on and off.may of just been a defective gear too.

Well it was still clicking this morning but after surviving a brutal hammering for 35 miles the noise is gone

Tranny shifted fine the whole time and the poker run fukin rocked!!!! We have gotta get a group ride on this

Now you don't know for certain where that noise was coming from.

Maybe never will.

it will probably reappear in the form of a bang next time brit is hammering toward a dune jump in 4th gear wfo lol.

glad to hear it sorted itsself
