The shift fork is an important component of the motorbike transmission and ensures precise shifting. It is made of a robust material such as steel or aluminium and can also be susceptible to wear. A defective shift fork can make shifting difficult or even impossible.
Over time, the gearshift fork can become worn due to constant wear, making it necessary to replace it. When replacing the gearshift fork, it is important to choose a high-quality component to ensure a long service life and reliable functioning of the gearbox. There are also special shift forks for racing motorbikes that enable faster and more precise shifting.
