Clunking when?

[crystalball]

when i change up or down it goes clunk was told this is common for zzr but isint comfortable. somtimes its a smooth change.my foot seems to b comfortable using the gear lever. i find if i press fast and lil hard to get 1st gear i can by pass d grinding off 1st gear sometimes.
