Drive snatch

[Mike Bell]

Hi, Had my GSA for a week now, i may be dreaming but i'm sure it sounds a bit more "clonkey" in first gear than when i first rode it !

any info would be useful.

Thanks

Mike

Nope your not dreaming, they do that though dont they though!

PS hello, welcome to the nut house!

It's a GSA - Which particular "clonkey" noise are you referring to?

Don't worry about it, Like Jonnie Boy says, "They all do that sir"

Or think of it another way - You've got a whole 2 years for the problem to surface if there is one and you'll get a new widget under warranty

Just relax, and enjoy the bike

David.

The rider still needs running in. You'll get the hang of it after a few thousand miles.

Not being sarky (someone will be along to do that soon), have you ridden bike with shaft drive before?

First time I rode a Guzzi I was convinced it was broken.

Couldn't get it into first without letting out the clutch either

Your all right i think, first week and 700 miles. FANTASTIC.
Shitty weather, but so what. i cleaned it every day for the first 3 days but i think it looks better dirty

Clunky gear change

It could be just a simple adjustment to the clutch is required - anyway as it will be due for its first service any moment now, let the experts take care of it!
