Thank guys for all the help and support you gave me leading up to this point and i look forward to a long future of chatting with you guys and riding. Cheers!!!!

What rain in AZ, you should move to AL where it hasn't been raining (much).

Welcome to the board and congrats on the new bike, they are great! The clunking is part of the transmission but can be reduced by technique (pre-loading the shifter can help a lot particularly the 1 - 2 shift). A good synthetic oil may also help, I find RedLine 10W-40 helps on bike.

Remember AGAT

Congrats on your new bike Matt. :thumbup:
Not to worry about the 1st to 2nd "clunking", as PhotoAl has said by pre-loading the shifter before going into second it will lessen the clunking feeling.
Can't wait to see the pics of your new "baby". :D

Hey man,

congrats. Did you get the one from the guy in Venice/Marinal del Rey? That was a sharp looking bike and he just put new tires on it.

I just put money down on an Fz1 and will be getting it shortly. Another guy on here David323, myself and another buddy Ryan are all relative noobs and try to go on rides on every weekend we can.

Mybike is gonna take 2-3 wees t get down here, but as soon as it does I'll be ready to go again.

PM with your contact info and i'll keep you in the loop when we go for rides. :rockon:
