clunk

[brutus450]

every once in a great while when the bike has just been started from cold, If I blip the throttle before I get 2 or 3 bars on the temp guage I get a clunk sound. kinda like a cylinder missed. It will just do it once and thats it. never again until next cold start.

any ideas?

This bike is supposed to be warmed up a bit before you take off...I always get a bar or two before I go anywhere...

Owner's manual says not to do that.

After starting the Spyder I do not touch the throttle, per owner's manual until it is warmed up. In the summer 1 or 2 bars works fine for me. In the cold winter it likes the 3 bars-3 bars seems to be normal operating temperature.

As an experiment this summer/fall I have ridden my Spyder with the radiator fan on continuously and bike remains at 3 bars. Never colder-never hotter.
