Changed my clutch cable today and drained and refilled the tranny with half 75\90 amsoil gear lube and half synthetic Lucas oil stabilizer and now hardly a tick when changing gears. 94 RK.

I enjoy that heavy clunk sound, unlike the metics which sound as though something broke.

I would love to get rid of my clunk, which is why I put Redline shockproof in mine. STILL CLUNKS. I find it hard to believe changing oils will get rid of the clunk.

You must have 100k on that bike!

Seriously, only 1st to 2nd is really noisy for me but i expect that to improve since there is only 2600 mi on mine.

I started using the Spectro 6 for trans fluid and it has made a noticeable improvement in the shifting
