Hey everyone just joined the forum looking for direction. I have an '81 Honda xl125s that seems to slip when in second gear, especially when you give it a little gas. No other gear does this which makes me think it's not the clutch, but not totally sure. When this is occurring I can hear things (not good sounding things) in the tranny. I've got the motor and tranny out and on a bench thinking about cracking it open. Thought I'd ask you folks before opening up that can. Thanks for any help.

Sounds like the gear is shot, the teeth are not catching. I would open it up, take a look at the case.

You for sure will have to split it and see whats up klosch. No way around it. Do you have the manual?

Don't have the manual, so i was wondering??? do I just loosen the headbolts to get the head and cylinder apart from the crankcase? I know i should get the manual, but i just don't want to spend anymore money on an old bike. Also, when I open the case, is everything gonna hold together, or might I have parts flying everywhere. Thanks again

klosch, i had exactly the same problem a few months ago! it turned out the second gear wasnt held in place or something,so sometimes it catches in gear, but then suddenly slips as it moves away, a shop did mine so i cant tell you exactly.
It turned out to be an expensive repair  because i rode like that, i was stupid!
But if you didnt ride like this with it, it shouldnt be too much.
