    I have 2 things to say about this:
    1. Don't pick your nose straight after
    2. Don't do it with molten aluminium (for the reasons mentioned previously).

    nice work. is there any particular reason you chose the yz250 box versus something else, like a honda (cr250/cr500) or even ktm (250sx, they also have a 6sp version now) ?

    The same old reason as always, I just happened to have one spare, and they are not a bad gearbox.

    FOS will be 100cc , sleeve is 125cc. Cases fit my YZ250F (0010)frame so probably off road first. 100cc is so it can be used in buckets if it works well enough.

    Are you allowed an MX gearbox in buckets now?

    Flettner would be able to produce an exact copy right down to the parts numbers stamped on them.......

    Yes you are right, the 250 YZ gearbox is illegal for F4, not to mention over kill for a 100, maybe even for the sleeve 125 but a YZ gearbox is what he has along with a YZ250 to try it in.

    Flettner was talking about a "FOS 100cc cylinder" being tried in a bucket if it works well enough in his MX bike. Which probably means a different F4 legal engine setup for the Bucket.

    But the cases are made to take YZ gearbox shafts. It's gonna be tough to retrofit something else in there afterwards.
