    Clunks

    Clunks Yea, they did that when new the whole "shifts like a Russian tractor" thing I am glad your bike is working well, the clutch in these holds up well for many many miles if you adjust it and use good oil

        clunk into 1st more so, but these are known
        to clunk into gear at the best of times.

            +1 Pete, and I have found if you pull the clutch in and hold for a few sec. and give it time to disengage, the "clunk is less
