i'm battling with some unusually clunky shifting between 1st and 2nd.
i've adjusted the crankshaft/transmission balance as well as the chain. however, i probably was too conservative with the adjustments. i might tighten things up a bit more and see what happens.
if anybody knows any good threads that address clunky shifting between 1st and 2nd i'm all eyes...

I experience that as well. It's been that way as long as I've had it through several oil changes and after adjusting the backlash. It slightly goes away just after I adjust the chain to minimum slack but will come back eventually. I don't think it's really any issue or problem with the bike. It just clunks into 2nd most of the time, not unlike the sound it makes when clunking into 1st from neutral at a standstill. Shifting to and from any other gear is smooth and quiet.
