shifting noise on my new/used
have only put 600 miles on 04 standard in three weeks or so but have noticed that i can hear the trans clunk when it catches the gear which seems loud to me. goes into gear without any trouble and feels solid each time, i am about to do all the oil changing but just wondering if this sortof noise as you are getting into 1st at a stoplight or when moving up is normal
i have 9000 miles on a softail standard

RE: shifting noise on my new/used
Going into 1st is real noticeable with these transmissions. Yes you'll hear something in about all gears. The clunkyness makes it kinda cool IMHO. If I wanted super smooth I'd ride a metric or a 06 Dyna.
Change to a better oil (redline or amsoil) and it should quiet down some. Check that your clutch is adjusted correctly. Also, give your trans some time to break in.....

After a year on a metric bike, I LOVE the clunk and the feel changing gears....... On my metric bike you had to guess if you were in the right gear............
