So i racing sat. Aug.30th at a local track and on the third lap i hit the finish line jump and when i landed my foot must of hit the shifter and i bent the shaft, took a chunk out of my case. so after the race day was over i was talking to some of the other racers and they said the only was i would be able to race this bike the rest of the season without getting another LH case would be to use QUICK STEEL so i went to an auto parts store and picked up a tube of it, its like devcon so i mixed it up and put it over the hole and waited for about 4 hrs. and then came back to check on it and it was as hard as steel so i started the bike no oil was coming out of the motor but i could still feel air breathing out of the motor from the top part of the shaftso i put some more on there and hopefully it works untill the race season is over.

ill keep everyone updated on what happens

Keep a close eye on your oil level!!!!!!!! i just got through replacing my cases this spring on mine due to my chain coming off and busting around the clutch shaft:no: I got a set of used cases off ebay for around $150.. you can get a new set for around $300. just keep an eye on your oil, keep a light left foot, and just remember, if you ride on hills, the faster it will dump!! good luck with it! keep us posted!!

      I replaced the shifter shaft and the shift arm linkage and the rod when I installed them all I was unaware that you had to line the dot on the shifter shaft with the gap on the linkage arm gap put it all back  together and rode it I can't get it to shift in the right gears  I can move the shift cam by hand and goes in different gears but with the shifter shaft in it riding I can't put it in R or N 
      Anyone know how to line up the shifter shaft and the shift cam s

      Hey all back again with my 1989 moto 4 250.
      After putting a new carb on it it's really sputtery, it has new gas and I'm wondering what to tune on the carb to make it idle better. I've attached a video to describe the issue more. The bike is still work in progress but I think the video gets the point across. Thanks!
