Within you or within the bike?

Yeah that's pretty standard Gazza, mine have always done it. Nothin to worry about.

at that mileage the needle jets should have been changed , or need changing ,,my clutch is rattle free,,also have the valve shims been done ? find out how much oil it uses and see what you can get out of your warranty , the clunk you discribe may be nothing to worry about but it shouldn't do it

spoke to the mechanic at bike shop he said its just the starter clutch engageing ,he said a lot of big twins do this .he said there was nothing to worry about cheers gazza
