What's up everyone? I just bought a 2000 CBR 600F4 and now that i'm getting used to the bike i'm starting to go for longer rides naturally. but for about the last week i've been hearing and feeling a "clunk" when starting from a stop, more so when i'm turning than going straight but the longer i ride straight the more it happens pulling away straight from a stop. This only happens in first gear and at first i thought it was possibly my foot catching my peg but i've rolled to a stop sign kept my feet up and taken off to see if it would happen and unfortunately it did and i tried this more than once with the same result.

I also thought it may be the suspension bottoming out due to the fact that it was set up for a much lighter rider with it's previous owner until tonight i could feel it kind of vibrate or pulsate through the left side peg.

So now I'm starting to think it's an engine or transmission problem but I am still taking it in to get the suspension set up for me and hoping for the best. If anyone has ever dealt with an issue like this PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE lend this poor fellow a helping hand.

Thanks everyone
