Wink CVO Clutch lever click

I now have a 2020 CVO limited, I had 2016 limited. The first thing I noticed driving off with this new machine was a defined click you can feel in the clutch lever at the same time you do a shift. It is more pronounced in a down shift. this click only happens while in motion and you are shifting gears. At the point and same time as the shift, you feel a click in the clutch lever. Has any body else have this concern, is this a by product of the new stability control system?

My 2020 CVO Limited does the same thing. Not certain but more than likely does have something to do with RDRS. I've learned to ignore it and don't really notice it anymore.

The new for 2017 slip & assist clutch causes the click.
After a bit, you won't even notice it any longer.

Not new for 2017. The Slip & Assist was new to Harley and CVO in 2013. My 13 CVO king has it as did my 15 CVO R
