I put a new clutch in my 400ex put it back together and took it for a ride. I was in 3rd pulled the clutch in and downshifted at about 20mph into second. Here is the problem when i down shift through all the gears it sounds like something hitting the case:icon_cussing: The shifting goes fine up and down throught the gears except for the bang! any ideas ??????

your clutch isn't put back together right..or your clutch basket springs are loose..take the cover back off..and re-check your clutch basket...something isn't lined up right..check your shifting fork to clutch..make sure your marks line up on the shaft and case.

Ok everything looks to be fine all the bolts are tight and my shifting fork to clutch..make sure your marks line up on the shaft and case. are good
