All my transmission clunks went away when I started wearing earplugs. You would be surprised how much more relaxing a ride can be with earplugs.

The clunks would not be there without robust trannie parts. Compared to the 6 speed Harly's our transmissions can exist without an IDS system without clattering and clacking there way down the road.

Mine seemed to be much quieter around the 30,000 mark, but I'm going def anyways. I've still got the wind in my ears from the trip. Maybe it's just on my mind...

buy the cable clutch thats on the Vision 8-ball to replace the hydro clutch actuator and you won't have any clunk in any gear. AND the cable pulls easier, like butter. Don't believe me? Go test a Vision 8-ball or Cross bike, no clunk... Spent the entire weekend riding/leading demo rides and the Visions were the only clutch clunkers, the Vision 8-ball was the exception. I like the cable feel better than hydro as well...

What is that clunk coming from under the bunk?

Could it be junk the trunk?

Oh no you didn't hit a skunk, or a hunk of a tree trunk!

It might be a drunk, cyberpunk, chipmunk, from podunk Kennebunk, who likes to do the funk on the bunk, and knocked a chunk from the under the bunk that caused the clunk.

Or does it sound like kerplunk?

If that is the case then everything needs to be countersunk, and slathered with gunk.

I hope some punk didn't plunk your hunk, that caused the clunk.

Either way you will need to debunk all the junk that stunk in order to find that clunk.

Goodlunk.

love it Steven - I like my clunk with each kerplunk, because it says my Vision ain't junk, dispite all the bunk and funk that some lunks want to spunk from their munk.
