I have found that on the first shift of the day, or when the bike is as cold as it will be, I get a pretty substantial clunk going from 1st to 2nd. But that's about it. As soon as it warms up...no more clunk. PS I'm using Amsoil Synthetic 20w-50, and have been using it since the 6000 or 8000 mile change.
