All 2st Question on Cagiva 250 6 speed transmission

[K5PL5]

So i have been looking around and found a Cagiva 6 spd trans available. Its a 6 speed from a 2 stroke 250. Problem is, the seller doesnt know what year the bike was. He has no crankcase to go from for numbers or stampings. Would this be compatible with a newer Cagiva based WR300 motor?

they seemed to take the same route as Husky and not radically change things, so without doing a ton of research the biggest change might be the clutch and how it mounted
not sure on this but just saying
a friend has a Husky and Cagiva shop so he would be a good resource, I will shoot him a text on this

 

[2premo]

what year was the Cagiva?
was it a bike or just part of an engine?

 

[K5PL5]

Thats the issue. He no longer has the crankcase.

The years to look for that will work in the new bikes :
360cc 92-02
250cc 92-98

Doesn't help you identify what you have I realize.......

Were there 360 and 250 model Cagivas in these years?

It looks correct from the hiway. You are definitely missing the needle bearings. Here are a couple of pics of the 6 speed next to the stock 5 speed:

My buddy used one in his WR250 from a '91. Slightly different gear ratios but overall worked great.

according to my friend the Cagiva engines were rebadged as Husky, and as pretty much the same, they used the 250 parts as is and revamped a few parts and changed the bore and stroke and came up with the 360 in 92

Would the needle bearings from the 5 speed tranny work?

Would the needle bearings from the 5 speed tranny work?

If I recall (it's been a month or two since I did mine), the needle bearings were the same size between the two, but you might not have enough to just pull use the ones from your 5 speed.

I used a 6 speed from a box of extras that came with my 360 and it had the needle bearings with it, so I used them.
