Will anything stop the clunk when put into reverse gear?
Is there always a loud clunk when going into reverse or is there a trick or procedure to prevent the clunk?
I have a 2015 RT-s
Thanks

Are you referring to the clunk you get when the engine is cold or fully warmed?
Ours is a red, black and chrome 2017 F3 Limited. Bought new in 2/2019. The avatar is my first bike back in 1952, a Simplex Servi-Cycle. Photo taken at the Barber Museum.

Warm - Cold , it always clunks as stated by others ….. My 1330 RT is a little quieter if it is near operating temp ….. Mike

Noticed the 'reverse clunk' on my 2020 as well, less so when warm. Pleased to read that it's normal.

It is normal. One thing I have noticed is that once I back my Spyder out of the garage, if I press and hold the shifter paddle, it does not clunk going into first.

You get the clunk in both situations. For me, it seems that the clunk is loudest on that first start up in the morning, and going into reverse while backing out of the garage.
