Hey all,
I've noticed a funny noise recently when I'm just starting out in first gear on my bike. The sound is a sort of 'clunk' a little bit like the noise it makes when you're sitting in neutral and shift down to first. It happens as I'm just starting out in first gear, getting off the clutch, right around the point where the clutch is fully engaged. Anyone have any idea what this could be?
Some things to keep in mind:
Thanks for any light you can shed!

Some things to keep in mind:
- It only happens in first gear (I think? It is possible that there is just too much wind noise by the time I get to second to hear it, but I don't think so).
- It only happens when the bike is on and moving. I can let the clutch in and out all day in first gear with the bike off and it never makes the noise.
- It seems more pronounced when the bike is cold.
Thanks for any light you can shed!
