Bolt on a Daytona clutch lever and the stiff shifting should be a thing of 
the past.  Pay attention to the cable free play.  This must be adjusted to 
the correct specs as per Triumphs recomendations.

 Subject: shifting -- gets better?
 
 when i first got the RS, shifting from first to second was well nigh
 impossible.  since a different bike (an ST) that i'd test-ridden at
 only 15 miles had a similar problem, i wasn't worried, and sure
 enough, by now, at just over 1000 miles, the RS is almost tolerable. 
 but when it's dead cold, that first shift still has to be excuted
 _just_ right, with the shifter loaded, and the shift done just at the
 initial easing of the throttle.  otherwise it's a no-go, and it
 
 does this ever change?  i'm getting better at remember to be extra
 careful on the first couple of 1st to 2nd shifts of a ride, and since
 i try and use the pre-loading method in general, it's not _too_ bad,
 but i sure wish it would loosen up.
 
 the other time it's hard to shift is at a full stop -- getting from
 first to neutral or second is quite hard.  it takes so much pressure
 that i invariable end up in 2nd, and have to go back down to neutral. 
 is this also common?
