make sure the chain is not too tight or the clutch not disengaging fully.

With the wet clutch you'll get a pronounced *thunk when going into 1st from N.  Since the wet clutch transfers a tiny bit of power to the rear wheel, even when the plate stack is separated.  As a result, you'll get a little thuk in the drive line.

To see if the clutch is fully disengaging go in and out of neutral with the bike running at a stand still . It you have a hard time getting neutral then you may have air in your clutch hydraulics ,or as  YUU said it may be oil sticking the clutch pack together.

so that means on a wet clutch is normal to hear the tunk" sound?

some times . If the clutch is not disengaged then the dogs will catch up with each other and engage harshly.
