So my buddy has a 929 and everytime he is in 2nd gear and lays into it, it pops out of gear. And it only happens in 2nd gear and when he gives it alot of throttle!Im thinkin one of the shift forks could be bent and its not pushing the gear all the way over and it slips out! im not to sure. does anyone have and suggestions? thanks.

 

prepare for loss of 2nd gear! sucks...

 

I have an extra transmission layin around, you think i shld replace the shift forks and see if thats the problem. or jus replace the tranny?

 

if you have the tranny do the whole thing... you have to split the case to do the trans... so you might as well.

 

ya i know how to do it, just hate breaking the cases apart...But would it be worth it to change the forks or do u think the tranns is for sure messed up?

 

you'll be able to see once it is apart if they forks are fucked up...

 

The whole bike is FUCKED... Better sell it to me..

 

hahaha that definitely sounds like a wheelie comment

 

word .. this is a no brainer .. replace it have it done in a hour .. and they take the "bad" one apart and see what the problem is .. if its the forks.. find em from somewhere else and replace em.. then u got another good spare tranny

 

Sounds like you are going to have to pull the motor and split the cases. Yea there is possibly a bent shift fork or 3... But I bet the dogs on the gears have been rounded too.

 

So i took out the drum and shift forks and on the left fork that puts it into 2nd gear, the fork was worn down to where there was no lips on the end of the fork. So im jus gonna put new forks in it and hopefully she works!

 

make sure all the teeth are there too!

 

ya i checked them and looks good no chips or anything, so i guess ill see how it works!!!

 

i would check the dogs on the gear that that shift fork is attached to... i just did a trans in an r6 and i replaced the gear also cuz with it slipping out like that it usually rounds off the dogs... and the dogs are the round nubs sticking off the gear that engane it into the other gear next to it
