Yup, quite normal. My ZZR is just as bad. Some bikes are like that, but Suzukis much less so. Mind, they've always made sweet gearboxes.

Hi all,My Girl 1 makes a right big BANG noise as I put it in first. Is this normal and if not is it a known issue?I have had other girls where this was caused by sticky flaps which could often be sorted by holding the tits for 5 secs before engaging first. This girl always needs quite a stomp with the lever.Clutch feels and works fine apart from this. Gear changes can be a little clunky, but that could just be me . It is an embarrassing noise too and my mechanical sympathy gland goes into spasm.

In response to the OPCured this on both my Gen 1s by filling the oil to slightly above the full mark.

I did the same and it is much improved. In fact the engine generally is much smoother and less 'dry' feeling. The banging is still there but I can live with it now
