Just a small note on bent gear forks on 1X98 engines incase any one searches this symptom.
Late last season my engine started this behaviour of spitting third out of gear on low engine loads and from there it got progressively worse to hopeless and I stopped riding.
Took it apart this weekend and both forks operating the outgoing shaft were bent, together they were like 3mm off, which certainly will create confusion for the gearbox.
Ordered new ones this time and now they look a tad different at least on the markings, so who knows they may have changed something, but moderate hopes on that as its now obsolete to ducati.
Rest of the engine looked all good, just folded it back together and ready to ride once its back in the bike
