 Loud clunk when shifting from into 1st or reverse.
Before the first oil change I had a slight clunk when shifting from neutral to 1st or reverse. I changed to a full Syn 5-40 and now the clunk is very loud. Sounds like it could brake something. Is this normal? Any suggestions.

Not sure what year you have but my 2012 always clunks into first or reverse. Maybe check the front pulley to see if it's loose.

The fully synthetic oil might make the normal 'first gear selection clunk' sound a tad louder than it did before, but more often than not with this sort of thing, it's just because you've done something that you are now hyper aware so it just seems louder...

If I let it idle a minute or so the idle speed drops to 900 or 1000 and then it isn't as bad.

That's still what normally happens, so it really could just be that you 'think' it's louder initially just because you are now listening to it more critically cos you've done something.... It happens waaaay more than you might think!

I've noticed that when going from reverse to first. If I hold down the shifter and let it shift into neutral, then into first without lifting the paddle, there is very little clunk, versus going to neutral, lift the paddle and then into first.

Clunk
Ever ride behind the Harley's? Our group has 5 CanAm's and the rest are Harley's mostly. But, when the Harley's shift, guess what, clunk! Don't worry about it. Just enjoy the ride.
