if you watch the new commercial for the seventy-two in the last 15 seconds the fella starts it up, puts it in first and it makes the loud clunk.
if harley put it in film they obviously consider it a selling point

I know this is an older thread but I am hearing the clunk in every gear. I understand 1st is normal, but EVERY gear? 2nd thru 5th not nearly as loud.... but its there.

The clunk you here is because the engagement of the gears, is no more then hard postive engagement.
Look at the picture and you will see the dogs that are a square cut boss
If your idle is high, and or the clutch drags a little it will clunk.

Loud clunk shifting in first solved
Here is what I do, Get on the bike but don't start it. Hold down the clutch Shift into second gear and roll backwards keep the clutch engaged. Then shift into 3rd gear and roll back and shift again into 4th. Keep the clutch in and start the engine. The engine will then shift without the LOUD Clunk. Now you can shift back down to first gear. Problem solved!
