yeah. well i order a gasket to have. anybody about the clunk into first, just how loud should it be.
The clunk into first gear I think you'll find is and has been a common complaint with the new six speed trans. I have a 14 SGS and noticed it when new. I have since switched gear oil over to Belray brand hypoid Gera oil for HD trans. It did help a bit with the clunk.
I spoke to a new 17 bike owner the other day. Claims with the new style clutch assembly the clunk is no more. Just a light click sound into first and for shifting.
dont have to worry about a oring, there was no oring. instead there is a wide gasket with silicone sections on each side. i was able to turn the adjuster in more than one full turn. set it 1/2 turn. still clunks into first. maybe thats how it suppose to be.
They all clunk when you drop it into first.

That's never worked for me and my clutch has been adjusted.
It's not under much if any pressure so a leak is less likely. Also if you did develop a leak just change it then.
i would agree on all points. I think replacement of any used gasket from a tech protocal perspective would be the logic behind replacement .
I am a DYI guy and replacing isn't a problem close to my shop. Away may make it necessary to go through the pain of finding a shop or a roadside repair if faced with a leak like that.
As far as the clunk goes, try a different primary fluid. I have been happy with switching to ATF. I find the clutch discs seem to disengage better. I have also had success with a few name brand primary fluids. The HD primary is okay, but, I am currently running ATF and very happy. Good luck.
