Re: Is there a "sweet spot" when downshifting?
My bike's the same as mole2's - i only get the clunk noise when i shift into 1st but it lets me know i'm there
Like blaine said - shift down at a higher speed and use the lower gears as a sort of brake - only i don't personally let the clutch out straight away as i find it a bit rough - maybe over about 1 and a half seconds - i think it gives the engine a chance to "catch up" to the higher revs needed at a lower gear - but you don't want to do it any slower than that or else you'll be coasting which has problems of it's own
Is the clunkieness always happening when you shift down or only when you shift more than once eg from 4th - 2nd without letting the clutch out in between? on my bike this is far more clunky than single shifts
