[QUOTE="SouthBayDon, post: 1188450, member: 87123"] I am a recent owner of a 06 AE, coming from a 99 Buell S3. Mine also clunks when dropped into first gear, more so I think using the paddle shift than foot, but could be my imagination. The challenges are adjusting to the lack of clutch lever and the ability to feather it on speeds of 0-5 MPH or so. You'll learn to "feather the clutch" using judicious throttle/rear brake. Start by practicing U turns in a safe place, slowly tightening the radius, but be careful not to let the revs drop below where the clutch disengages. Other places where lack of clutch becomes problematic are where you need to move slowly like traffic making left turns. [/QUOTE]
