1st to 2nd clunk
I know we all have the clunk shifting down to first and we all have our little ways to help silence it but does anyone have a clunk going from 1st to second? I can't lay a pattern on when this is happening sometimes when I'm really getting on it, sometimes when I'm putting around. I always use my clutch to shift so for all I know this is normal but wanted to check with you guys to see if it is or if you know what I should replace to get rid of it.

Re: 1st to 2nd clunk
Every Honda I've ever ridden has always had a clunk between the first two gears. I'd say it's normal.

Re: 1st to 2nd clunk
don't listen to anything but the sweet sound of my bike when riding... well sweet sound and huge clunk between 1st and 2nd (everytime with the down shift, only sometimes going up).

Re: 1st to 2nd clunk
Gear ratio between 1st and 2nd is the greatest. Velocity differential between those two gears is the greatest. And you will hear the greatest clunk.

Re: 1st to 2nd clunk
I dont know if this will help or if you tried already, but on my yzf600 if the chain was not adjusted 100% correctly i got awful clunking noises changing gear. As soon as i lubed and tweeked it was fine.

With my honda i dont really have any probs with the greabox apart from a few false neutrals when you really dont need it....

My other theary is TOO MANY WHEELIES!!!!! lol

Re: 1st to 2nd clunk
wheelies??? me??? if you had seen my videos on youtube than you would know that I would kill myself if I tried to do a wheelie. the only time the front leaves the ground is when i'm hauling ass and don't want it to.
Glad to hear that its the norm both down shifting and up

Going slow??? When did I mention going slow, have to stop at stop signs and such so kinda forces me to use 1st and 2nd... well I guess I could start in 3rd but it wouldn't be as much fun.

sure sure, act like you don't want me to stomp on you

STOP = Skid Tire On Pavement They seem to be optional in GA.

Just start in 2nd then there shouldn't be a clunk. Problem solved. Voila!

Re: 1st to 2nd clunk
had to skid the tire the other day to stop (stupid cagers). would have been fun had I not been worried about hitting the damn car and I didn't have to buy my own tires.

Sometimes I like to just put my feet down on the ground and skid stop with my feet. It saves the brakes and helps from having to skid the tire
