shifting noise
i titled this thread shifting noise , but it is not really so much a "noise"
but more I can hear it loudly popping into gear both up and down shifting
more so down shifting ,
and I have also noticed it is not always to happy to go into first
lastly when letting off the throttle say going 50 plus I can hear the bike disengage , witch I dont think I could before but well may have not been listing for
Oh,, lest I forget to mention it is a 02/883
well the question if there is one in all this . would this all be signs or syptoms of just needing the fulids filled .
and no I have not had the bike serviced I just bought it last fall and was given the impression at the time of the sale all was fine and not in need of service , I have probably put 2,000 miles on it cence then

Yea I posted a few threads about this, Being that it is my first Harley I was also concerned about the loud clanks and clunks when shifting but I changed my fluids and did all the adjustments and it still does it, everyone tells me its "a Harley thing" so I take it for what it is haha

yea , I kinda know about this "clunk" and that is a good word for it . I have put a couple thousand on the bike , todays "clunk" was much louder , Im quite sure there is something going on in there or maybe with the cluch cable needs adjusting.
something is just not right , I was hoping it might be just needed some fluid added

You might want to check your primary chain and clutch adjustments though. You'll need the Service Manual to do them correctly.

I like the clunk. This is my 6th bike and 1st Harley. I've read about the clunk for years. I thought it was a bad thing until I experienced it. The clunk tells me im made the shift. No more of that ??? did it go?, I think so !!! try again. With the clunk I know. I like it.
