[QUOTE="jammess, post: 1399863, member: 89387"] I find that short shifting from first into second at around 2.5 to 3K revs then higher revs from 2nd on up works best. Always pull clutch lever all the way. Shifting seems to get smoother as the miles add up. To avoid the clunk when shifting from neutral to first pull in the clutch and blip the throttle to around 2.5K revs then shift after revs drop back to idle RPM and no more clunk. Only takes a second to do. I use Motul 10-40 synthetic with ester which makes shifting a bit smoother and I'm sure the synthetic Yamalube would be just as good and similar in price as Motul from Amazon. [/QUOTE]
