OK...the bike was popping out of 2nd under power...
I've got the trans out and the 2nd gear dogs are worn, but it doesn't seem like it is enough to cause the problem...

What do you think? The left hand gear with the arrow is the suspect...
The other gear is from a used trans I picked up off eBay...it's better, but not a lot better.

Right now I'm thinking of asking the guy who worked on my drag bike trans to re-cut the dogs for me...
It would be a lot cheaper than the $80 a new gear appears to cost.
 
I'd send it off to be undercut. A mild one for street. I don't think they look too good. Either one.
You can buy new gears still. Pricey though.
 
I know just enough about this subject to be dangerious but...how about having the ebay gear back cut? That original gear looks like scrap to me.
 
Send the trans to Fast By Gast. Just tell them it is a street bike & you just want it undercut to keep it in gear. If you are NOT going to take it to the dragstrip, tell them that. Ray.
 
You are showing the dogs on 5th gear that engages the slots on 2nd gear. If you fix or replace 5th gear then you have to fix or replace the 2nd gear output(driven) gear also. It will have beat up slots to match those beat up dogs. Know what I mean? Dar
 
Thanks for advice guys...unfortunately...I'm going to have to do this on the cheap...
Don't have any cash to send things in or buy new gears...

I'll update when I'm done.

BTW...here is what really worn dogs look like....:eek:

I was just looking at new shifting forks (three total) and that was a buck-fifty alone.
My transmission looks perfect but I had a little trouble speed shifting under extreme load. Can't visually see a problem but my guess would be the forks.

LOL...well obviously those weren't worn off, they were sheared off...
Also snap a tooth off 3rd, cracked a couple of teeth on second, bent the input shaft, bent the forks, bent the shift rods....

I'm sure you know this, but just in case...
If you have marks on the fork, like in the picture below, the fork is bent.
