popping out of third gear
motopunk:
the rings break if they have the right age after some riding... i had the same on a friends 97 kx250 some years ago. it starts with the snapring and at least the shift fork and 2 gears for 4th and 5th were also damaged, ...
like foxx.. said the rings are cheaper than transbox-damage...
shooky:
Is there a better snap ring to use that will bold up better than stock?

not that I'm aware of...but I could be wrong.
sandblaster:
I only use the stock ones.
kxpegger:
If work has been done on the tranny before the snap ring/s could have been installed wrong. I know on Suzuki the snap ring has a radius side and a sharp edged side. The radius side faces the gear so that the sharp edge or unfinished side butts up against the groove of the shaft to keep it in place. If the radius side faces away from the gear this puts more stress on the snap ring. I'm assuming that Kawasaki may be the same.
