RE: I fixed my clunky-shifting transmission
I will try this because my 13CB1000 is even "clunkier" than my 78CB750. The one thing I can not figure out is; at times I am stopping without down shifting, and the trans gets lost between some gear and I have a heck of a time getting it to downshift out of the "twilight gear" zone. If i let out the clutch a little it will really clunk and then I can finish shifting it to 1st or it just remains in the no gear ( not netural) and I have to keep stepping on the shifter. I want to try up shifting it sometime when it does it but it always seems like I am in traffic and my brain just want to get it going.

I used a wax based lube on the X chain on the 2012 Bonneville...when I finally lubed it a 6,000 miles. It had no issues at 6,000 miles, but since I washed it, I lubed it.

For the last two Yamaha dual sports, PJ1 every 300 miles. That can is almost empty and I have in stock Dupont Chain-Saver Wax-Based Chain Lube.

It is much cheaper than a new O-ring chain, so I will probably lube it every ~500 miles.
