Sounds like it lives a hard life. All bets are off in that scenario. You may need an upgrade to a Baker box. Good luck.

Ok....I guess this is the 3rd gear issue
I have seen a few 3rd gear issues , esp when the bike has been used on the strip
The issue so far has always been the same
Now that does not mean that will be the case here, but it may be a good start point for you
What I have seen every time is the dogs have become worn, and tend to push the gear out, rather than pull it in(and that is a big part of how the tranny works)
Do not think for a moment that the shifter fork is designed to hold that gear in, as it certainly is not
It is only there to control the movement of the gears
The backcut of the dog is what ensures drive
Sometimes HD gears do not engage as efficiently as might be desired, and what I mean by that is that the overlap of the dogs may only be around 50 %, when 75 might be a little nicer
On a 5 speed, you could move the gear a little, as they had washers either side
Not so easy looking on a 6 speed, with the more fixed gear position
If there is wear there, it may have to be a case of replacement parts only, as opposed to being able to do a simple mod to help things out.
I can see how a lack of engagement issue could be addressed, but it would not be easy(and may not even be necessary)
