500 ride again project

[K2-K6]

The dog drive looks like it's been spitting back out from the look of the radius on those drive faces.

You need to compare them with a known good set to see how much they are worn. But they don't look disposed to staying in place under load. Don't think you could rely is on them even if everything else wash perfect.

If under load it's trying to separate the dogs it will heat up the selector fork as it'll be "leaning" on it which it's not supposed to do.

Is that back dog of the three sticking up a different size to the others? Can't get a good view of it in the photo, and is it supposed to be?

No Trigger it just felt like I wa pulling and releasing clutch very quickly

[Trigger]

Sounds more like a clutch or push rod problem 

[Safo]

Would it do it only in 3rd and not in any other gear?

[Safo]

I think k2 is on the right path, looking closer, there is a a lip on the fork, which suggests it's had some pressure from the gear, but contrary to the pic is not blue so hasn't had too much, it certainly isn't as good as the ones in the picture that trigger sent

[Safo]

OK folks, reckon it's time  to accept that I've, (well the wife that is) cos it's her bike has to spend some big bucks and find some new bits, gonna see if silvers still got them repro gears I saw a few months ago

[Trigger]

The only lip i can see is on the dog. Maybe some better pictures would be better 

[Safo]

Glad you asked for a better pic Trigger, this confirms what's been going on

[Trigger]

I take it, that is the Right one ? Will have L & R on them 

[Safo]

Yes it says R2, but things just got worse, the middle one has suffered tne same, I also found the drum bolt in the top case wa loose the locking washer had bent back

[Bryanj]

You need to check what you need against a parts book. Anything with 323 middle number is 500 any other middle number is another model.
