[QUOTE="Ol'89r, post: 1159853, member: 17212"] Worn shift dogs or bent shift forks or both. If the gearbox is worn, the gear dogs, or the little cogs on the sides of the gears can become worn at an angle. These dogs are how some of the gears engage. When under acceleration, the worn dogs will try to spread themselves apart. If the dogs are worn excessively and the shift fork is slightly bent, it will force the gears apart and the bike will pop out of gear. This is a common problem on a lot of bikes that are ridden hard and shifted without using the clutch. Eventually the dogs will wear off at an angle. The cure is to split the cases and inspect all of the gears and shift forks. The gear dogs should be square, not worn at an angle. Look at the shift forks. If they are bent it will show up as an uneven wear pattern on one side of the shift fork. Usually will show wear at the top or the bottom of the fork, indicating a bent fork. The shift fork should have an even wear pattern on both sides, top and bottom. Replace the worn parts as necessary. Probably not the answer you wanted to hear but, there ya go. :cool: [/QUOTE]
