    Default I'm wondering about this pretty loud "clunk" on selecting 1st... Normal??

    ...when I start my 2019 SE6 RT and hit the paddle to go from neutral to 1st. I let the rpm drop to 900 after starting the byke then shift to 1st. I thought that I was back on my 1800 VTX which was the king of the clunks when shifting. Normal?

    Ryde, eat, sleep.... repeat

    Oil level and quality of oil might make a difference. My 2014 clunks the first shift---- quiet after that.

    It is normal because the transmission is constant mesh design.
    Artillery lends dignity to what would
    otherwise be a vulgar brawl.
