Whats the xr200 rear wheel Slakey..?? Not as heavy ?
Cheers

Just about any wheel is lighter than the XL original , XR 200 also has some rubber damping so will help with the gear box issues. I used a YZ wheel in mine but I only ran an 310 motor.

I have the black '74 C&J that Tony built & a lovely bike it is . Unfortunately I have trashed the gearbox - ripped all the dogs off 3rd gear - does anyone have any bright ideas on how to stop that happening again ?

If you use a centre port gearbox ..third and fourth gears are stronger..or you can weld a steel ring to the side port chocolate ones ..

Slakey do you know if the xr200 rear will also fit a 74 CR250?
