500 engine strip
mickwinf:
this is the old selector fork, you can see it has worn badly

another pic

Ken the tip on one side has worn a groove about 1mm deep, you can just see it on the pic, it has the number 51 stamped in it.
mickwinf:
I had a look at the sliding dog and it looked good, in fact the whole bottom end looked good apart from this one item, so will put it back together with new primary and cam chain and hope for the best!
Bryanj:
For some reason it's always that selector that shows wear and nearly always the same pattern.
If i sat and thought about it perhaps i could think of a good reason but can't really get steamed up about it.
over the years I have seen most of the gears damaged in some way but not one more than any other, as long as you strip and repair before they jump out regularly i think just the selector will cure any problem
