    Could I possibly not be having it in the correct gear?

    I know since yesterday am not changing gears at the correct time. So, the clunkyness might be that and when stopping the gear changes are clunky. I think I may need to be more smoother.

    My previous bike was a XVS 250 and had many problems but its not as responsive at this bike obviously

    Maz I really dont mean to be rude as we all have to start somewhere but is it mechanical or is the gear box just a bit clunky and you locked the back wheel up when braking? It's easily done if you are stomping a bit too heavy on the back brake. You really want to be using a high proportion of the front brake for stopping a bike.
