Default Clunk into 1st/2nd

Hey guys,
My M50 some times (more than not) makes a lound "clunk" noise when going into 1st.... It also makes it into 2nd and sometime 3rd.
At times, I love it when it clicks into 1st soooo smooth.

I went to the dealer and asked the lazy mechanic there, he said "yeah.... they all do that !!!" i asked if maybe the cluch needs adjustment, he said "nop". I said what about idle RPM, do you think it high? he said "nop".

What do you think? I hear lots of bike on the road do that. Is this normal?
This is my first bike, I am just concerned. It does not sound very good ....

Thanks in advance

P.S. I keep telling my self that since it is blue..... blue is "fastest" , I have to put up with this sound.
