Below is the difference between the 07 and 08 3rd gear from the LTR 450. The gears are from Hook and Sonya's quads

The one with the 4 dogs on it is the 07 gear.

Both are the standard issue Suzuki gears and the 07 gear has copped a flogging for 100 hrs and never had a problem...whereas the 08 gear let go around the 70-80 hour mark (female rider for most of its life so might have had a gentle life)

your point ? the gear teeth are the same neither gear has done the dogs 3 or 4, 06 and 07 and 08 drop gearboxes or are you saying that's why the gearbox went on the 08 ? and not on your 07 or are you just lucky ? some are not some are either way its bad form from suzuki

I just think the quality of the later gears is not the same as earlier, the 07 gears have a larger beval on the leading edge and the later really do look cheap, but that would be a company just cutting costs..
