shift clunk? ? ?

i have noticed that after my handlebar swap, it seems that when i pull the clutch in and let it out, i can feel it through my feet on the left side, and it makes a loud clunk when i shift gears, the bike is still under warranty, but would like to hear from you guys first, thanx

Try adjusting the clutch. I'd adjust on the cable first. If that doesn't do it bust open the derby cover and give it a full adjustment, or since you are under warranty take it to the dealer.

yip! sounds like clutch adjustment,probably just cable adjustment because you put on new bars and switch housing, cable would of been backed off,and not adjusted back up properly!

If you did the bars yourself then just adjust the clutch, if the dealer did take it back and have them do it. If you did the swap they will charge you, not the bikes fault
