The previous owner swore to me it was only 4 gears.. Anyways, I put boyesen power reeds when I cleaned and put a new seal on the carb. It also got new breakpads and more break fluid after new years.

Well it has a forward kick on it so I'm sure it's the right engine. Have you rode it to confirm what you were told?

That's a 2nd gen motor for sure. So if he can't find gears I'd suggest checking the shift drum/forks/gears like mentioned above.Originally Posted by 350for350
I could of swore they had the shift pattern by the sprocket cover like the 200x does, the hardtails, etc. I have a 83 250r but never looked lol. I'd get a picture but I'm away for work for a few months.

Thats the right motor for the second gen 250r.81-84 250rs are 5 speed .Your shifter cog could be timed wrong or could be bent or broken shift fork.Only way to be sure is split the cases.

Ive ridden it up to 4th and around in 4th for a little while. When you try to shift into 5th there is just a stop and it wont budge like its backed against something. It rides like it was built without the 5th. I cant believe the owner lied to me about missing the last gear.. so dishonest

I'm not defending anyone, but maybe he bought it that way and thought it only had 4. Then again, you could be right.
