04 shift klunk
I purchased a 2004 electra glide classic from a customer about 6 mos. ago, only had 900 miles on it. Prev.owner could not handle and the bike sat foralmost a year. I have puton about 1000 miles on it since i bought it. Itseems to have a rather loud shifting klunk, my dealer says it is normal, in depseration I purchased a chain tensioncalled an M6 from Hayden enterprises but it stillshifts entirely too loud and this klunk is a little annoying, any feedback outthere on this problem or is this the nature of the beast?

RE: 04 shift klunk
That's the nature of the beast. You might try a different tranny oil. I've noticed a big difference between cheap gear oil and a quality synthetic as far as shifting smoothness and noise.
But they do 'klunk'.

RE: 04 shift klunk
read this in the sporty section while searchin about ez clutch info. 1)check primary belt tension and 2)push bike a little forward before ingageing into 1st gear-this somehow lines the gears up? or even use a little hill or sloped driveway? my sportser can have a nasty klunk and is to some degree "normal" but the other day took it out to blow the dust off it and that made a 110% difference! hope this helps
