Re: Hello peeps!!!!
Welcome. Clunky second gear is par for the course. Part of the character. 
Two bikes, still only four cylinders!
Re: Hello peeps!!!!
Welcome aboard Dave 
I find changing up into 2nd gear asap is best on our Storms. Things that can make the change worse are too slack a drive chain and worn cush drive rubbers,
Chris.
