this was the begging of the demise of the racer it crossed the finish line by only 2 feet and stopped dead in its tracks.

What place you take in that moto?

it broke couple teeth off 3rd gear, i was having problems with the tranny all year, it was popping out of second and having a hard time from 3 to 4, i crossed the line in second right on guys ktm 525 butt. as soon as it crossed it didnt even make it down the down side of the hill. got a pick of that to trying to get it back to the pit so the next race could start. it also broke the boss in the case that the rod the shift fork mount on. i had the cases fixed and pick the motor up next week its all done and back together now, its goin on my spare racer.

60 bucks for the trans and shift forks most of my parts are ebay specials, the trans i got had a broken gear also but not the gear i broke so used both trannys to make one good one plus i need shift forks i guess they told me i bent 2 of them. didn't do anything specal to the trans i guess from what i have been told the weak point of the racers are the trans. wish youkon made a hd tranny. but only for the honda. i have also brake the trans in my 00 rm250 seems i am good for that.

James was that on purpose or just luck ??!.. 

As long as it wasn't me that ya downshifted and the guy didn't suffer serious injuries over it, well then whatever gets the job done!! 

i crashed alot on my bike also, started getting older and crashing hurts so i changed up to 4 wheels i still crash on that but not nearly as much
