Another suggestion, after welding check the entire gear for possible pitting caused by ground contact arcing...and welding splatter...address as necessary...

Great work, thinking about a V Max but this issue really puts me off, had the same issue with an 87 Kawasaki VN15, hadn't passed my test when i bought (here in the UK) it so didn't test ride it, on first ride it was popping out of second, couldn't face the job, complete strip down but also engine strip down (barrels and pistons need to come out) too so an engine rebuild, sold the bike spares or repairs and lost about £1000

The reason why the 2nd gear dove tails wear out is because of the shifting canister design defect. The shifting canister groove for 2nd gear fork doesn't push the 2nd gear dove tail far enough inside the female part of the other gear, so its always at the edge, and slips and wears out over time. I think that what you did by welding the dove tails is a good idea, especially if you make them a little longer so that they can fully engage more.

The 85 n some 86 had that 2nd gear problem there was a recall to update that gear I remembered. I was lucky my 86 did not have that problem. They also detuned all the Vmax HP down from 140 to 130

They all have the problem worse on shaft drive with loads of torque in 2005 Yamaha they added shims for less play but if you slam it into 2nd gear most things with dog gears become jumpy, 145 hp or 135hp my 1998-2002 both had problem.

the '83, '84 and some '85s Ventures have a second gear issue also, do you know if it the same?
