I have a 2012 street glide that is doing the same thing..VERY loud clunk from the primary area in first when letting out or pulling in the clutch..also clunks when shutting off engine..right as the engine quits...bike has 400 miles on it...noticed it a little at first.. has gotten progressively
worse.. now it is very loud.. gonna try to auto tension the chain.. doesn't work goes to the dealer.. just the idea of having them tear into a new bike bothers me

on my fattie, all the clunking went away with the installation of the SE compensator.
