Im looking at possibly getting a tecate with a bad first gear. What would cause this and what would it take to fix it?
Would first gear need to be replaced and forks or?

Describe what a 'bad first gear' is, Making noise, Jumping, Doesnt engage properly, Rough, whines/grinds? And is it just first gear?
Tools of the trade:
ATC250sx - Runs, Does wicked donuts.
KX250 - Sitting around. Needs new chain, Rear w/bearings, Clutch release arm seal to replace.

Oh yea sorry about that.
It wont engage into first gear. I dont have the trike yet so I cant explain the problem to thoroughly.
Wont go into first but will go into all the other gears and is driveable with no issues after first.
