    Thanks for all of the replies guys. I'm going to assume that the "chirping" sounds is just a normal Honda noise for the bike. My old Valkyrie makes all sorts of noises too but it runs like a champ. I believe that the shifting will become more smooth once I switch to a synthetic oil. I noticed a substantial difference once I switched to synthetic oil on the Valkyrie.

    Hey Biglry

    What kind oil you use? Do you shift quick or pause with clutch in? My 2016 is clunky but have been shifting below 3000 rpm. I changed oil at 1000 to amsoil 10/40. Got smoother but not the butter you have.

    Amsoil 10/40 changed every 8000 to 10,000 miles along with Amsoil 75w/90 in the rear diff after the first 25,000 miles.
    I shift fast & firm with a quick clutch at all RPM! I never pussy foot around when it comes to shifting(size 16 boot)
