i did something really similar but I changed the corresponding 5th gear on the main axle because the third on the counter still looked good

Thanks for video- Have a Q on my 2000 YZ250- In short- bought it blown up, full rebuild- shifts great through 4th, but 5th is a struggle, but goes in. Then false neutral when trying to shift back to 4th. All gears look great, put 3 new shift forks in to see if that was the problem, though they all looked good. When cases are split, hand shifts the same, but needs help going into 5th. Drum looks good but feels faintly rough sliding into 5th. I've had it apart 4 times polishing & looking. Baffled. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Hey man. I just got a 2021 yz250x.... they have a wide ratio 5spd where as the regular yz250 has a close ratio....I wonder if the X suffers from this? I'm guessing for the non racer/trail only rider it shouldn't be an issue.

Is this for 3rd gear. My 250 will ride fine until I reach the powerband

Is this an easy fix?
