Normal. Switch to Redline shockproof heavy and that will quiet it down a bit. And buy the way...

When my ride was new just about every time i down shifted to first when comming to a stop sounded like i lost my tranny a block back. Or even starting my bike in nuetral then shiting to first "CLUNK"..I have noticed that when i switched to HD syn3 it eased my pain. My bike shifted alot better. Did this at my 1000 mile fluid change. But your tranny has changed from 09' to 10'..

Yeah, it's normal. When I did my 5k changes, I changed all three to Lucas synthetic 20w50 motorcycle oil and it helped, alot. It's still there from time to time though. I personally don't worry to much about it, just slam her and go.............................

I like my clunk! Have you heard the other brands shift into first? HD's trannys are BEASTS!

The louder the clunk into 1st - the tighter and stronger shes is!

congrats on your new Lo. GREAT choice! Many safe miles brother.

The "clunk" is as normal as the potatoe exhaust note.
