My son's 1993 Honda XR650L transmission developed a problem where it would jump out of 2nd gear.
Split the cases and found slight wear on that one shifter fork, and wear on the 2nd gear "slots" where the adjacent gear dogs engage and wear on the adjacent gear dogs (5th gear) that do the engaging.
So, I need the fork and the 2nd gear and the 5th gear. But, do I need the PAIR of 2nd gears and the PAIR of 5th gears? Is it 'good practice' to replace them as a pair, or just the one that's bad?
Neither gear has any sign of wear on the teeth or any other issues. Just on the engagement dogs on the one and the engagement slots on the other.
I'm inclined to just replace the two individual gears, but didn't want to wind up with some new, odd problem (like poor shifting or gear whine) due to one old / one new mating pair.
