Clunk noise while shifting down to 1st

I' ve noticed a noticeable clunk when I drop to first while coming to a stop clutch in. I am in the break in period.... Bike has under 300 km. Is this normal? I guess I am thinking it could be smoother/quieter. Being a newbie rider I can't compare to past bike experience. So... Calling out to fellow riders :)

Cheers

i used to have the clunk when i first got my bike,but only when i was downshifting to 1st gear at speeds of 15mph and higher..,im a lil past 2000miles now,does it still clunk if you are at lower MPH lets say 8mph?

i dont notice anymore clunking
I appreciate all the replies, great forum! Yes, the clunk...thuNk is there at low speed. It doesnt happen from 3 to 2.... But just as I crawl to stop ' clutch engaged and push down to 1. For now I'll improve shift finesse and monitor it.

Love the bike though! Black with abs:)
