    Clutch or trans issue

    I hear a ping a split second after shifting. It sounds like a spring snapping against the case. It doesnt do it all the time. Shifting also feels a little stiff mostly from neutral to first.

    Put your bike/model/year in your signature to clue us! 82 gs750t ?

    Since this is a new to you bike... I'd try fiddling/replacing clutch cable (oem is best) and hope that problem vanishes as you ride. The old cable might be stretching and releasing. If you're ambitious, pull the clutch basket and have a peek.
    what are you using for oil?
