I've got a 2008 gsf650 bandit with only 16k on the clock. Just looking for some advice with regard to gear changes. When changing from 1st to 2nd and to a lesser extent 2nd to 3rd there is good clunk as the gear engages. If I do a WOT take off the clunk is far worse. Is this just the style of gearbox or is there a better way to change gears. Only been riding for 6 months so it may just be me.

hi guys,I have no riding experience apart from my CBT, 1 x lesson and my mod1 and mod2 tests.

Any bikers out there which suffer from back pain, during or after riding? It would be great to hear from you to tell me your story.I'm an undergraduate osteopathic student studying at the european school of osteopathy (ESO), that is doing a research project into motorcyclists with back pain. I am looking for anyone who rides a bike and has back pain basically, it doesn't matter about age, gender, bike ridden, type of pain etc. This will involve a 30-45 minute interview with myself, asking the questions where, when, how? etc, to try and establish a better understanding of whats causing the ...
