Author Message   Jetranger_2000 Posted on Wednesday, August 14, 2013 - 12:22 pm:        what causes a louder/harder "clunk" than normal when going from neutral to first I just did the primary swap to a Xb9 and it is "clunking" a lot louder (I think) the reason I think its "clunking" louder is my buddy was on the bike and shifted to 1st and it scared me. Perhaps its normal but seems quieter with helmet on!!!!   Teeps Posted on Wednesday, August 14, 2013 - 12:27 pm:        Clutch drag. The first shift into 1st gear, before engine is at operating temperature, is very loud, on my '06 Ulysses. After the engine reaches operating temp, the clunk is still present but not as loud as when cold. Nature of the beast; but since you've replaced the primary drive. Make sure the chain and the clutch are properly adjusted.   Etennuly Posted on Wednesday, August 14, 2013 - 01:11 pm:        You may need to re-adjust the primary chain. New one's can stretch a little as they break in.   Arry Posted on Wednesday, August 14, 2013 - 01:44 pm:        Not only did you not have a helmet on, but your buddy probably didn't shift as smoothly as you would have.
