Should I worry??

[Hoguer]

I have A VTX 1300 - 2004

about 7K miles and It has always shifted hard going from 1st to 2nd up and down. But latley it feels like its gotten louder. Is this a sighn that my clutch is about to go?

I have an '04 1300 and it has always been loud since I bought it new in 2004. I think it is normal. Very little noise in other gears. I have about 20,000 miles on my VTX and have been using AMSOIL. I bought a case in 2005 when it was cheaper and used the last of it this spring. Not sure I will buy anymore because of the price.
