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

and so i adjusted my clutch today, it engages closer to the grip now, still clunks when put in first and most likely always will, rode it two miles seems to be working fine no slipping so far. thanks for all those who offered advice you guys rule!!!

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