2009 1st to 2nd gear change - clunk or ka-pow?
My friend just purchased a leftover 2009 Nomad. He had a 2002 Nomad and then a 2005 Wing. His biggest complaint is the noise when changing from 1st to 2nd gear. He describes it as a KA-POW instead of a clunk. He said none of his bikes before had made that kind of noise and he's worried there is a problem. I have not ridden it yet to form my own opinion (that's in the works), but I've heard it when in front and behind him. It sounds a lot like my 08 if I hang out in 1st too long before shifting to 2nd, but he says his does it no matter what speed. I know there are several that have gone from an older Nomad to the 1700 and wondered if you are experiencing the same thing.

I believe if the heal/toe shifter was of a thicker gadget metal(beef it up that would help the problem. If I put my toe down before it bends out( closer to the privet point the is no clunk. In other words if the shifter was shorter it would not make this clunk noise.
