depending on your year and riding stile, they go bad because you tend to use 3rd gear the most, and the cogs are considered small. I have an '06 and they lasted over 4 years. I could have ran them more, but there started to chip, and I had the case apart, so I replace both 3rd gears in the tranny. You can get a stock set for about $100 I think?
I know that I can run most MX tracks and either lug or over rev 3rd gear and not shift as much, but it stresses the gear out.
