yeah, hi i have been told to get my gearbox undercut but i dont know if its worth it or not, its about $200 over here but if i can do it i will, from the research ive done all it is is cutting the dogs, so that instead of a flat side it has a trapezium sorta shape
non cut

the problem ur gonna have with doin it with and angle grinder is that ur taking the hardness out of the drive dogs and for the effort its goin to take you it really isnt worth it dirt bike trannys r strong enough for wat the bikes are put through and unless you have all the drive dogs even your goin to be putting alot of stress on one or 2 of the other dogs so all in all i dont think its worth it

Why would you undercut it, never heard of anyone that has done it.
Or are you gonna ride like a "bat outta hell"?
