So final report is that there is a spring in the shifting mechanism that just got stuck and seized up. Ridden a few races on it since then and it's running like a champ

I do apologise on behalf of TSM, this stuff doesn't usually happen on here (if it did I wouldn't come on here myself). In regards to the KTM if they've stood by it and covered it under warranty then I suppose you can't really complain, everone makes the odd mistake so one bad gearbox out of all the bikes sold is pretty good going.

As I say TSM isn't usually like this so please stick around long enough to realize that.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

so we picked up a brand new 250sx within an hour of it being received get one ride on it. goes great break in is in full swing. second ride we go out and on third moto i come down out of a corner and try to shift to third only to find it is stuck in second. less than an hour on the bike. so now it is back at the dealership after being fixed(under warranty).
just wondering if any other 11-13 owners have had any problems like this?

It's been a few days but when you brought your bike back to the dealership did they make mention of similar problems from any of other dealers across the country? To be honest, yours is the first major problem, of any kind, I've heard concerning any of the KTM bikes.

There was a post on another forum that had like 3 or 4 people saying that it had problems shifting but no cases I saw of it actually locking up like this. I just figured maybe I could find more people on a two stroke only forum.

Is this a serious thing or a joke? If its serious then it sort of looks like you were asking for it by racing it before it was properly broken in and I dont think that it would of happened under normal circumstances and if run in correctly, on the other hand if its a joke then your sense of humour is rubbish.

This was during a second break in ride not riding hard.
