    But then again this is probably 15 years ago.

    well your dads just cool aint he lol. if you take this motor to a shop no one will know wtf to do or it's issues. just rebuild it your self. thats what i did. rebuild to me means all new bearings and seals and bore job...not halfazzed rebuild using old crank bearings and rod bearings like a dealer will do for ya.

    I know it's not the clutch slipping. It's the 3rd gear problem that a lot of 200x's have. Like I said I plan on having someone work on it for me. I didn't grow up with somebody showing me how to do things. I would probably just mess it up.

    A guy sold me a box with a few NOS ATC gears, no bags and a crapshoot but no good to me.....

    20T on the mainshaft, 29T on the countershaft
    Mainshaft gear has four "teeth" on both sides of the gear to hook into 5th and 4th gear.
    Countershaft gear is smooth on one side and has four "teeth" on the other to hook into 4th

    I just did a rebuild on an X this summer. I tore it down and put it back together myself. However, You might need someone to look at it. It might need more than just rings. I had to bore over and that means that someone else does that (labor cost). New piston, rings and whatever else. Also new gaskets and "O" rings etc. In the end it cost me in the $500 - $600 dollar range. Just be prepared, you never know what it might look like inside.

    He also mentioned brakes, so I would rebuild that caliper and the sprocket is probably the rubbers in there that I think are gone.....

    Wonder why 83-85 needed those but not 86/87? Maybe because not everyone adjusts them parallel??

    I've decided I'm just going to put top end gaskets in it and see if that stops the oil leak. Then I will need front brake pads. Anyone know where to get some?
