GSX750ES : Gear wear

[Guest]

Is this considered to be a reasonable wear ? Would you replace it ?
I heard an advise to gently machine 2mm from the edges with a dremel and a tiny tungsten carbide straight head but to me it sounds too risky. Even if there is no hardened coating, the risk of non even machining of the teeth could ruin the gear. Any thoughts ?

what gear are you talking about?

The surfaces you reference are not critical wear surfaces. I don't think those scuff marks show anything out of the ordinary. Someone like Rapid Ray would know for sure.

Those are the dogs on the trans. We undercut them for drag & road racing with NO effect on strength. Was the bike jumping out of gear before you took it apart? Those don't look near as bad as stuff I've seen that still worked without issue.

Hi Ray,
I bought the bike 5 years ago and as far as I can remember it had no issue of jumping out of gear. I'm doing a nuts and bolts restoration for my GSX750ES that had 100,000 km on it and I replaced any part that will not last for another 100,000 km. This bike will be literally new in a few months.
From your reply I understand that these dogs will last another 100,000 KM ...
