Undercut transmission

Up and down = racecut which is what I have.
You only need the "upcut". My tranny is racecut because that how the tranny I bought came. It was $500 (EBay) and I needed a cut tranny so I got it. I still use the clutch to downshift so it really is of no use to me.
*edit*
Accrding to the auction, my was cut by Fast By Gast.
WAG:
Are you serious?

Upcut only - Fast by Gast - think it's about $350 to send them your tranny.
it means they grind away the gear "dog" and slot so they engage better. They usually only do this on the side that engages when you upshift. Alot of guys do this for racing or if they have alot of horsepower so the bike doesn't pop out of gear.Wag @ Dec. 08 2007 said:
Well the above post pretty much summed it up.Uh, yeah, I'm serious. This is the first time I've ever heard the term.
Seriously.
You guys and your high tech!

I asked were you serious because with nearly 6000 post I thought you'd have certainly run across this topic.
I basically thought you were starting a new "what's a TRE" type thing.
Race cut is not up and down. It is a much more agressive up cut. In some models, it entails removing some dogs completely. Race cut is usually only done on bikes using air shifters.
We only do up and down for road race applications where they downshift a lot.
It is all right here.;

Oh okay. I remember seeing "racecut" on the auction I won mine on and when I received it I noticed both sides were cut.
Maybe he sent out the wrong one ... oh well.
Hey Javie ... are you gonna get it done?

Racecut can only be done on transmissions that have an even number of engagement dogs. What gets done is we remove every other engagement dog, so that it is a smoother shift when using an air shifter. It is to only be done on racing bikes using an air shifter.
Thanks Dustin! Good info

Sorry I made a mistake in my post, Racecut is just undercutting the up side of the engagement dogs. Procutting is the process of removing every other engagement dog.

No unfortunately I haven't seen any come in yet. It's still early for the bike though. I'm sure we will see one during this winter when everybody is trying to get everything done on their bike to get ready for the new season.

I'll most likely get it up and down cut so I can race around town heh =D I figure if i'm gunna pay $3-400 to get it cut one side I might as well pay double and get the other side bad @$$ too, and it doesn't hurt that I won't feel AS bad about dropping it down a gear under heavy loads. Now I just have to get the tranny out...
