I have noticed that on my 07 softail, that when the engine is cold, when I start the engine - and then pull in the clutch - and then shift into first, it usually "clunks"
Once the engine is warm, when I start the bike, it will usually shift to first gear without a clunk at all.
I have checked my clutch adjustment, and it's set right.
I notice if I pull in the clutch (neutral) before starting the bike, I can shift into first gear without a clunk...
I've begun always pulling in the clutch before starting the bike - I <hope> will actually end up reducing wear on the 1st gear syncros and gear teeth...
any thoughts?
