Hi slug ,,  the Xt  is a good wee bike,  .

[another xs250 not charging]

Haa"  jim has had this experience .   is it like the RD250,  where the rotor is inside the stator,  with brushes  on the slip rings,, if so   the brown wire needs 12volt ,  to magnatize rotor,,

Hi Xtt"  ,good bikes the 250,  i"d say exhausts and the rear  tail light bracket are the   rare parts ,  .

[Disappearing gears YBR 125...]

Not plastic gears,  look at that pic,, its with the clutch basket removed, [  big shaft in top /rh, is where it sits] , the other cog in pic is kickstard  idler, ,the drum is the round thing with pins, the claw [ pawl ] .  grabs these pins,

Hi there ,.the SR  ,is a hardy wee bike,, bullet proof,  take some punishment,  .just keep sevices up .

[Disappearing gears YBR 125...]

Hi  there,   i think thers nothing wrong with  the gears themsell,  i think its the selector Pawl, [ its behind the clutch basket], its a claw shaped thing, spring loaded,  it grabs the selector drum and turns it,  there maybe a weak spring ,or its outa line,, cover needs removed again, , get some one to select  and you watch it working,  it claws then resets to pick up the next gear,.
