Hi all,
Last year, when my KZ1000 Police was still working, it jumped out of second gear twice. I think there are three probable causes:
1 - I didn't shift right because I'm not used to heal-toe shifting
2 - The gear forks are worn/damaged. Reparable without splitting the crankcase by taking off the oilpan (I hope?).
3 - second gear is thrashed, needs to be undercut or replaced, which means taking out the engine and tearing it down completely. This I really do not want to do.
What do you think? I'm doing a top-end rebuild, and really don't want to strip it all down again.
