all harleys clunk my man haha.. if you can not get it into neutral.. try rocking the bike as you look for it. works for me. if doesnt work just check your clutch adjustment. if it doesnt work from there or this is a more serious issue try and give more of a diag. a lot of bikes whine....... has this always happened? maybe just didnt realize it

The neutral and clunking is somewhat normal, but the other part sounds like you need a visit to the dealer..
