Why You Need This Upgrade
The factory shift pawl uses a roller and rivet design that can fail under stress from aggressive shifting and detent star pressure. When it breaks:
- Metal debris can enter your transmission gears
- Damage can spread quickly through internal components
- Repairs can become extremely expensive
The SANDCRAFT billet shift pawl removes this weak point entirely, giving you confidence whether you're trail riding, racing, or pushing your machine hard in the dunes.
Signs Your Shift Pawl May Be Failing
- Metal debris found on the transmission magnet
- Rough or inconsistent shifting
- Grinding or abnormal transmission noise
If you notice steel roller or rivet debris, your factory pawl has likely failed and should be replaced immediately.
