XR250R Gear Selector Shaft

[garythehat]

HI, new here, but an Huge xr fan.

I have some how managed to snap the tip of my xr250r 'gear selector shaft' off.

The splines are damaged on the remaining part of the shaft. The splines on the inside of the lever are not great.

What i did was spot weld it first, but that only lasted half hour. Then I got a mate who was a bit better than me to weld it, but not much. Lasted for an hour then.

Any suggestions to keep in on, without splitting the engine to change the shaft??????????

I recently finished a rebuild of a xr200r and that would be easier to change as the shaft passes the whole way through the crankcase. But on my 250 its only half way so it means stripping it down. I don't want to do this as it running 100%.

The only think about welding is that it heats up the shaft and it might damage any oil seals, was lucky so far.

If any one out there has any ideas how i get a quick fix for a few months would be very helpful.

I will do my best, as I am only new here, to help anyone I can.

Kind Regards
GarytheHat

got same problem mate mine went right on the groove for the bolt last sunday on the hills lol riding over a twig had to get home in 3rd 2 mph pain in the gool
my gear lever aint good either i know of a place called cms who specialise in clasic bike parts they based is netherlands though

depending on how far yours is snapped off you might be able to get the lever on the with a dremel cut a new groove for the bolt
it looks like thats what i gotta do
unless i find a doner engine whilst i rebuild mine
