Posted April 12, 200816 yr My IT 465 has now officially worn its second set of shifter forks. Started with 2 bikes neither of which would shift to 3rd. Rebuilt better of the two and found the shifter fork engaging 3rd severly worn in both cases. Also, splined spacer washer between gears torn apart on same gear shaft. Everything else in the tranny was pristine in both cases. I rode the rebuilt bike for a season and had no issue. It shifted well, but I always clutch every shift. Most recently I let a buddy ride the bike and 3rd is blow again. He's ridden & owned lots of KDX and YZ bikes. I know he never clutches on shifts. He's agressive, but not stupid. I've also never had issues shifting clutchless on other bikes after starting out. Any one ever have or hear of issues with the 5 speed trannies on these bikes? No signs of wear or binding on the shafts or gearsets. I'm getting ready put this thing back together and need some insgiht. By the way, love the bike. Can't get enough of the low and mid range. 3rd is the best gear.
