Clutch clunks when it engages

Does anyone else's clutch make a loud clunk when it engages. When I'm sitting still and start pressing on the gas...I hear the rpm's start rising a couple hundred rpm's maybe then the loud clunk and it starts moving. I did a search and all it pulled up was the clutch stud recall. It's already got the stud. This is my first sxs so I'm new to everything about them.

It's completely normal. From what people/dealer tell me, it's just your machine telling you that your positively in gear. Nothing to worry about. Some might be louder than others though. Supposedly new clutches (aftermarket) fix this.

It's called the can am clunk. I think it's the factory secondary that makes the noise.

Ok cool. Was just making sure. It has done it from day one and I figured after I got some miles on it it might quiet down some. It doesn't bother me...it was just a noise I had heard.
Thanks guys

Yeah that's what I do...mine clunks pretty good. Probably just difference in machines is all. As long as it's a normal thing...it doesn't bother me
