Here is the problem I was having before I tore it down. In 2nd gear, it falls to neutral when it "hits" under throttle. When putting at low rpm in 2nd it will hold it just fine.
I tore it all apart and split the cases because the oil would turn black very quickly and had a bit more metal shavings than I liked to see. I noticed right off the clutch basket is very worn and notched. The plates have a little lip on them too. Also, the shift forks look decent but might be a bit under spec thickness wise but dont look too bad. The shift drum is okay. All the cogs are in great shape as well.
Should I replace the shift forks or could the clutch assembly cause my problem? I know it needs replaced. Is there anything else I should pay attention to while its apart?
Sorry for the long post and thanks in advance.
The bike is an 2000 rm 125
