Gear box.

[Skunk]

Hey guys a quick question.. Is it normal to have a loud clunk when changing gears? Does it make a difference if you use thicker oil? Can you tighten clutch to make a difference . Any help or ideas is appreciated.

I would not worry about it. Nature of the beast. I got 50,000 on a Rocket X if it don't go clunk might have to check into it. When it don't go clunk and rolls around then I'll get worried.

Just into first or all gears?

Mine clunks into first and down shifting clunks in all gears. Can hit her hard and no problems finding gears. Kind of figured the bike was assembled on a Wednesday vice a Monday or Friday

If mine is in neutral, some times going into first it will clunk, like that for a long time. Will be doing oil change to a different type later, hopefully might improve it a bit.

A soft, gentle foot and a good oil helps this . . .

They are clunkers. I change to Amsoil 20-50 and it helped a lot. But they are clunkers.
