Mark,
The TR250 was popping out of 3rd gear right after a rebuild. I tightened up
the screws on the selector shaft just a bit and it has run OK that way for
several years now. As I recall there are 3 of them right on the top cover and
an
easy procedure to adjust as outlined in the manuals. Probably this is masking
another problem like worn dog teeth but it worked for me. BTW the forks were
new in my box.
Cheers,
Darrell
