1 clunky clutch? Fri Aug 26, 2011 8:27 pm

My k100rs does something that I think I should worry about...
When I realease the clutch a bit too quickly (which happens because the friction point on my other bike is at a different place), I get treated to a loud clunk as it engages.
It seems to be coming from the rear, but I can't be sure if it's in the transmission or the final drive.
It's always done it for as long as I had the bike (2 years), but I don't ride it that much so I never worried.
Now I'm starting to ride it more, and also starting to worry abotu what it could be.
Any ideas?
(also, the clutch engages very far out at the lever and my friction zone is paper thin; I adjusted the clutch as per the manual).
