THEY ALL. CLUNK BUT WHY

[Fat Baxter]

I too came over from BMW, so I was used to the same initial clunk.

What I do not miss was the chattering upshift into third gear on my R1100RT ("they all do that"). Didn't do it on the downshift, though. I put up with that for the 73K miles I put on that bike. Always wondering if/when the tranny was going to drop out. But, "they all do that." And there never were any metallic bits in the tranny oil.

I'm also used to different bits of Tupperware resonating at different revs and speeds, so the Spyder's drive belt harmonics didn't bother me. In fact, until someone mentioned it here in one of the threads, I didn't notice it at all.
