[QUOTE="Andrewaust, post: 85465, member: 936"] These dogs are the little things that become chipped when not using the clutch, also the inner milled out section of the other shown gear can become damaged also, when either one "or both" become damaged the gearbox will either keep jumping out of gear or worse, bend or break the selector shift fork. How do I know this ? I've been repairing bikes for over 20 years, its also not uncommon to see only 3 dogs on a gear of a dirtbike like the one pictured, depends on the model, gear and H.P of the bike. If you only use a bike for a season or two and flog it off, I guess go ahead and shift without the clutch, but if you plan on keeping your bike longer, then try and use the clutch. Just wish I still had the junk here so I could place up damaged parts. Don't worry on occasions I've shifted without the clutch myself, but continually doing it wrecks parts. A ;) [/QUOTE]
