Mine wont start in gear if the kickstand is down. once the kickstand is up it will start if the clutch is pulled in. Mine clunks going into first gear. I figure a clunk is normal for it. It was doing it from day one so I'm not worried about it that's why there's a warranty if it breaks.
Downshift to first
I've read where many of us felt like the downshift from 2nd to 1st was very rough. Several of you said this improved after the first service. Mine did not, still very rough. Any idea what your dealers did that helped this? I have found that shifting into neutral for a second helps but that's not what I want to do when trying to enter a sharp corner hard.

I know. I was just stating how it should operate since wlfpak65 was having issues starting in gear.MY said:Your bike is suppose to do that. Its a safety feature. Your bike will also shut itself off if you put the kickstand down while in gear.Yosemite said:Mine wont start in gear if the kickstand is down. once the kickstand is up it will start if the clutch is pulled in.

Check your oil level. Its probably a normal clunk. I dont think the shift from 2nd to 1st will ever be a quiet one due to the fact it has to go through neutral.
