well i have had my ds since christmas and just last night i was practicing and was going over the woops and my tranny gave way. i was wondering if anyone else has had any issues with theres. im on this site alot reading all the different problems that people have had and i would have to say that i have had none of the above till now. i still love my ds, dont get me wrong i wouldnt trade it for anything except maybe a new one ;-)

Does that even matter ? I don't think x amount of hours is going to mean anything! The tranny shouldn't go period.

i have notice that i do favor third gear more but i dont think it would have this kind of impact on the motor.

Did you ever not pull up enough on the shifter and it didnt go into gear right away and then it slams in?

can i be caused by low end lugging and having to much torque

I'm sure the pounding threw the whoops and all the hard riding didn't help, But you also gotta look at how many quads they are putting out. You gotta expect a few to have some kinda of issues.

when you race a bike hard you dont always shift right im not going to lie ive no always shifted the right way but my tranny never did that! i would go to the dealer an talk to them about it see if theres somthing they can do

well its all been taken care of. i went to the dealer which is where i work and it was warrentied. but the other bad thing is that i went out two days later and bent the left side of my axle. it just seems like the little things.
