As I said before which I'd be very happy if some of you guys could try out and let me know how your bikes react:
When starting the engine, hold in the clutch. Keep the clutch held in for a few seconds, maybe reverse the bike out of the parking spot in reverse or forward for a short distance and then without releasing the clutch put it into 1st gear. Guaranteed you'll find that 9 times out of 10 the bike WONT clunk at all!! I've been doing this for a few months now and the bike tends to be smoother on the off...additionally I no longer get a second gear to first gear clunk. Its got to be all in the handling of the clutch, engine speed and the speed at which you push down on the gear selector.
All I know is that its possible to get rid of this clunking, you just have to learn about your bike and figure out the way to reduce/stop this noise.
