I find I sometimes have difficulty putting in 1st gear. Makes a loud clunk. Is this something I should worry about. Bike has only 300 miles.
Thanks for your help

Mine did that a bit early on. I've got about 2500 miles on it now and no problem. I think the clutch plates may be just a bit sticky when new.I find I sometimes have difficulty putting in 1st gear. Makes a loud clunk. Is this something I should worry about. Bike has only 300 miles.

Only does it when stopped, you are correct. ThanksMy 08 really has to be forced to hit 1st gear from 2nd in motion. My 05 is silky, and takes a masterful swat to find neutral.
But Skooter, they all clunk if you're in neutral, stopped, and put it to first. I ASSumed the OP was talking about the 2nd->1st issue I noticed, which I've had before in a brand new GSXR. It cleared up after some miles and a couple of oil changes.
If Quebec is talking about dropping to first at a stop light, um, yeah. Normal.
