Well, I just got back from taking the RS in to the shop to have the
clunking gear change checked. Basically, he said he felt it was
OK. He said that, had I not noted a difference after the oil change,
he would say it was normal. However, he said there should not
have been a change. He took it out for a test ride, so I know he
checked it out well. We also checked an RS demo unit and,
although it was quieter, it makes a noticable clunk. He did adjust
my shifter down a little; he felt it was too high and could be causing
me trouble with the 1st-2nd shift. It does shifter easier, but still
had the clunk.
So, I guess I'll just ride the bike and see what happens. At the
very least, I've put a stake in the ground with the service manager
that there's a potential problem and it should be covered under
warantee if anything bad develops down the road.
Now that the service is done and I have almost 900 miles on it, he
said I should "start really getting on it now". No problem! :-)
