popping out of third gear

(1/7) > >>

shooky:
500af running great with carb fixed, took it for a good burn. It like to pop out of third gear. Any suggestions or links that cover this issue?

Foxx4Beaver:
broken snap-ring...drain the oil through a paint filter and see if any metal chunks come out.

shooky:
Is a broken snap ring common?

Foxx4Beaver:
yes...
could be worn gear dogs too...that's very common on 3rd gear.
either way, you're gonna have to split the bottom end open to fix it....be the perfect time for a complete rebuild :-D

shooky:
Any thing to look for while it's a part?  Suggested mods while it's open?
