You are right about these are the gears that get broken. It only makes sense to replace the broken gears instead of paying for a complete new transmission. I know the other guy was saying that only making complete sets was what they could do. I asked about first and second only and was pushed aside as usual. He is more concerned with making big $$$ on us 250r brethren. Any real builder would just fix whats broken and not fix what is not needed. Big thanks to LED!!!! Proud to have them as a site sponsor!

Just talked to Arlen yesterday. He has 1st and 3rd countershaft gears in stock with 2nd countershaft due in the next month or so. He said right around $500 and they are VASTLY improved over the originals. I will be getting them when I decide how big of a sphinx I want!!

LED rocks! His willingness to reinvestment in the 250R is one of the many reasons why I choose to go with Arlen (LED) for my complete top end package.

Have you got your top end yet? I'm waiting to see a few of the LED builds I know Tbone got a 350, and I really want the 300 sphynx kit just need to save a bit of money.

Not yet but it should be right around the corner. I haven't called but I suspect only a few more weeks based on his backlog at the time when I ordered. Mine will be a sphynx 300PV ported for XC.

Very cool. Hopefully [MENTION=276]ledperformance[/MENTION] will give some details on material and improvements over OEM in here or his section!

Been a big fan of Arlan's work since waaaay back in the Gary Denton days. My first trx had one of his motors and it ripped!!!

One thing for sure, we know LED (Arlan) has been around for a while, back in the early days of the 250R, sponsored riders, built engines & not very much, if anything at all he has to guess about when it comes to a Honda TRX250R. Hes a rock you can stand by & know its real.

Oh my God,,, really, cause I'm not even a 1/4 of how good Arlan is.
When it comes to a 250R, the people I hold to the highest honor, Arlan L (LED) Allen K (CT Racing) Curtis Sparks, Chris Greshsom (CGR Suzuki Of Paris). Racer of all times, Gary Denton first & then Shane Hitt because of 2 strokes.
The night a few years ago, when I watched Shane run down the front straight with 2 more laps to go & was in first, motioned with his left hand down low, wave motion for Tim Farr to pass him, but Tim couldnt catch him on his 4 poker, that just made 2 strokes to me all worth keeping them alive as long as I can.
Tim Farr, myself & a friend of mine standing there was the only ones seen Shane do that & you can best believe it was "GOOD" to me.
