windlestone Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 Son has an 02 250 Pro and he was out on it today. Started warm engine and selected first gear.No problem. Let out the clutch and pulled away and there was a "strange Noise" then it jumped out of gear. He selected nuetral and restarted engine. No noise till he selected first again and again it jumped out. Pushed it back to the van. Anyone experienced this before i start stripping it down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonty Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 Check that the gear lever is clear of the chain! If the lever is not completely home on the shaft the chain can catch and knock the bike out of gear when setting off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 Is the shifter still returning on it`s own (if not just the return spring can be broke) Can you shift to other gears? The Pro has an eccentric cam for the shift drum that can be adjusted. Worst case is the aluminum shift forks are bent so you should update all the eternal parts.

john b Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 Gary (Windlestone) Have a close look, he's probably clicking it out of gear when you're not looking, then it will be:- " look dad, me Pro's knackered, we might as well get matching Montesa 4T's !!!!!" mark my words.......................
