250-500cc 6 speed

So i have a 07 wr250.......... i would like this 6th gear, what do i need and where do i get if from, and do you just put it in the gear box or do you have to change all the gears?

WR 250 5 speed to 6 speed swap.. It was posted by the world famous 'wallybean'..

Sean,

I still think the easiest way to make the swap is to find a hammered pre-99 250 or any year 360 and part out the bike except what you need. The problem is that if the bike is in any kind of decent condition, I would just swap motors or ride the older bike. Check out Kelly's threads on his WXC 250 and how much he likes it.

Do a Craigs list search and see what you find.

Good luck,
Walt

has any one got he bits they would like to ship to the uk

Will the 1976 wr360 fit??

Hi Sean,
to buy the parts from Husqvarna you are looking at £1000 approx. Then there is the labour on top.
Keep on the lookout for a used 360 I think!
Alec

yeah sounds like a plan!

would a 1976 box fit i found one in the us

Or ill get used to cruising at 55

I don't think you can go back further than a 92, definitely not a 76.

No, I'm pretty sure a '76 won't work. It will have to be something after around '89 or so, I'm not real sure where they start to fit. It will have to something, "post cagiva takeover".

ok would a 1996 cr250 box work and would it be a straight swap

Sean,

The 96 CR250 box will fit but I don't think you are gaining anything. I know a 91 tranny works and later. But there are a couple of models in the 90's that came with CR 5speed tranny's for MX so you need to be sure it is a 6 speed. I believe any year 360 other than the mx version in 92 will work and any WXC 250 will work. Jusk make sure it had a 6 speed.

ok silly question, if i look at the gear box internals how many cogs should there be on the two shafts
