Hot or cold when I engage first gear it always crunches quite loudly. To its credit, although its done this for as long as I can remember it hasn't spat any cogs out yet. On all my previous and present other bikes holding the clutch in and blipping the throttle a few times either reduces or stops this altogether, but not on the Fazer. Are there any known problems with the clutch? It's a 1999 model, owned by me from new, 21000 miles n the clock. Please enlighten me, thanks.
