Ahh, here is;
In the past two weeks up-shifting is very CLUNKY and down-shifting is no different. Engaging 1st gear is usual clunk. But gears seem to be stiff or worn almost. Also a small gear WHINE when Revs are low cruising through town at 60or so K's an hr, in 4th or 3rd gear.

Bike is an 02 zx636r with less than 7thousand K's on it
Had it's 5thousand service.
Previous owner hardly rode machine hence low K's.
.
Shortly after i purchased it, knocked it down a to 3rd gear, gave it some stick and at this point the clutch seemed to be slipping or have some run-on, not hugely almost like someone riding the clutch. if u know what i mean. That 1 off slipping has not happened again.

And now I have this scarey loud clunk in every gear. everything works fine just very loud.
I have had lots of kwaka's and this noise is different.

Ideas, thoughts please down want to rip it apart if i don't have to.
 
If the only problem is noise, I would not worry about it till it gets worse. Provided that everything is working properly. It could be with the low mileage that the tranny is finally getting broken in, or it may be a more serious problem.

As a long time Kawasaki owner myself, I have to say that they are some of the clunkiest transmissions around. But since I am not hearing/feeling what you are I am not in a position to judge IF this is a problem or not.
