2nd Gear slips out

[Alex24]

Hello, I am a new Kat rider and I love it. However my second gear slips out and I believe it is the fork clutch. I was hoping one of you fine folks could tell me if they had a similar problem and what would be the best way to fix it. Thank you for your time I appreciate any advice!!

Either that or worn dogs. Depends on your abilities. Both require tearing into the trans. If it's a bad slip you may also have worn dogs. Which would mean complete tear down to replace a gear or have them under cut. If cost is a factor, it may be cheaper to replace the engine with a good used one.

If I still rode it and just bypassed second to go to third will that make things significantly worse? Both the options are a little pricey for me right now.

That is a normal thing to do when you loose second gear.
It won't get better that's for sure, it should last a while. Take it a little easier than normal when riding.

Thanks for your advice. As a new Kat rider I really appreciate it.

My bike sometimes pops out of first , into neutral.
Same cause?

Most likely, although rare for first gear.
