Patti,
I now have 1100 miles on my RS. The clunking got worse after the
500 mile service/oil change. That was 300 miles back, and it is
improving. I also found, as Jim Huber posted, that shifting at higher
RPMs makes a marked improvement; if I shift from 1st at around
5500 or above, it just slips right into 2nd, whereas at lower RPMs, I
get a noticable clunk. Give that a try, if you aren't already.
Otherwise, I think it's going to be a fact of life until we get more
miles on the bikes.
