Steel spur gear
I'm hearing different opinions about this one and wanted to get you guys take on it. Since my spur gear is shot, should I upgrade to steel? What other upgrades need to be done to a 25 LE to go along with the steel gear?

RE: Steel spur gear
If you want to run a steel spur you will also need a hardened clutch bell. The steel spur makes short work of the stock bell. Also make sure that your mesh is right, its even more critical with the steel spur.

RE: Steel spur gear
If you decide to go a steel spur gear, then no doubt you'll need a titanium nitrate clutch bell. I agree with podge_87. A plastic spur gear only costs like 4 or 5 bucks. A tranny gear is not only harder to replace, but costs more. On my Savage 25 I went through about 10 spur gears before I got the engine broken in. If the engine is properly broken in and the gear mesh is right, you shouldn't have no problems with it stripping or melting.
