    clanky shifting

    I have a 85 & 86 Big Red and both clank when shifting. Seems like the rpm's don't fall off fast enough to shift smoothly. Anyone have ideas to get a smooth & quite shift ??

    I don't know about a clank but all bikes make noise when they shift. But if they are making funny noises. drain the oil and pull the right side cover off to inspect the transmission.

    Maybe I should see if the clutch needs adjusting

    It 's like shifting without letting off the throttle all the way
