I thought I would ask here since the 1050 motor is used in more than just the Speed Triple.
I bought a 2012 Speed Triple with 9k miles for a steal. It has a shifting issue though. Sometimes I was downshifting the lever would seem to just hit the floor and did not engaged a lower gear. If you kept pushing it down nothing would happen. If you brought it up a gear and back down, it would engage. It seemed to happen all different gears (mostly 4 to 3 and 3 to 2) and happened about 10% of the time. It would randomly jump out of gear, but I will get more into that later. It also never banged or grinded while shifting and the engine is awesome. I drained the oil and it was not glittery. Maybe bad or the wrong oil? Nope, that didn't fix it. I put the correct oil in. Adjusted the clutch cable.
At first I found the detent was actually not seated and just hanging. While inspecting I found that the pivot plate was worn. I ordered a new spring and pivot plate and installed. Easy fix right... Well it shifts 95% better after fixing it.
I rode it about 100 miles and was shifting better. It was very rare for it to miss downshifting. I blamed it on it being a new bike to me and hearing that the speed has a stubborn/clunky transmission. It was jumping of gear though, just 4th gear every once and awhile. It didn't do it on acceleration or hard acceleration, just when I let off the throttle.
Well today it it got much worse the downshifting issue is back. Anytime I let off the throttle it will jump out of 4th gear and into a false neutral. I am ready to start tearing into her now. This is the first time doing transmission work but not too worried, I will follow the shop manual step by step.
So a couple questions.
I assume my 4th and whatever gear is meshed with it is bad or one or more dogs is worn or the the shift forks are bent. Before I split the cases, is there anything else I should look at?
I found a full transmission on ebay with 3k miles on it for $100, should I buy it and use the parts I need or if it looks good swap everything? Since one gear can cost $80 or more it seemed like a good price. It has basically every part of the transmission. One of the gears looks like it has pitting but it could be the camera. Should I just avoid the used transmission all together and buy new. If I replace just one gear, I will be ahead.

Is there any parts I have to replace when splitting the cases? Washers, bearings, ect... I assume there is not a how to for the 1050 in regards to splitting the cases or repairing the transmission?
