couple of clunking noises right at startup

[se7enty7]

see topic... does it like 4 times or and then stops..

doesn't happen all the time.  Happens right after oil change

when you change the oil, it drains from all parts of the motor...

immediatly after start up, it takes a little time to fill the oil filer and push the oil to everywhere it needs to flow.

best bet is the next time you change your oil, remove both spark plug wires and turn the motor over for a few seconds. then plug the wires back onto the spark plugs, then start it.

nothing to worry about, JUST as long as you have oil in it.

hope it helps!

Yea mine did it too ... but not right after Oil change ... I thought starter clutch ... but ofcourse mine was loud and just 1 knock ... Well no oil pressure wont sound like anyhting ... just a shade dry sounding ... you might have cam chain or somehting else loose.
Cool.

hmm.. I think I might pull the left side cover off and look at how the starter, idler gear(name?) and starter clutch gear mesh..
