I expected the BA to be better, but N to 1st is an almighty 'clunk' - about the same as the TDM, as are most other shifts. Is it me or is it normal ???? The first shift after the bike sat for over 1/2 hour or so is much quieter if you pull in the clutch and rock the bike forward and back until the clutch breaks loose. Wet clutches tend to stick when they sit for a while. Also, make sure the idle speed is not too fast and the clutch is properly adjusted. Let's hope there's intelligent life somewhere in space 'cause it's buggar all down here. -- Monte Python
