That's a bummer Chris. You run a quality transmission oil, right? So, how could that happen? Unless Suzuki was skimping on the heat treatment procedures. I hear that cryogenic hardening procedure works pretty good on preventing wear in dirtbike transmissions. Might be something to look into if this is an ongoing issue. Good luck.
So they make a kit that fixes the transmission issue, I need an 08 transmission, that’s what this motor is now, it was the first ride on this motor so got to work the bugs out, it has way more power than my old one.
@F5Tornado44 08 I would think, 09 are hard to find, 08 is the only transmission that can be upgraded to the 11 and 12 year, they only made 06 to 09 in the us, they made them to 12 over seas
@@dirtchurchracing6854 Really? Huh. That's interesting. Wonder why they stopped in the US. Did they make any substantial changes in over seas LTR's? I never hear anything about them. Only that all other ATV manufacturers tried to base their front ends off the geometry of the LTR front end.

@@dirtchurchracing6854 Well, cool. More power is always better. What's the most sought after year of the LTR?

@F5Tornado44 just the transmission, I believe, I haven’t really looked into it, would be cool to get ahold of one of the last years
