clanking when shifting

[Rocky_imp]

I'm arriving late to this party, and only have about 300 km's (180 miles) or so on the bike, but I find it quite smooth on the shift from first to second - and the rest of the gears are very slick - up and down. The 1/2 shift has a tiny click/clunk, but that's to be expected when you pass through neutral.
As for downshifting, I also don't go into first gear until I'm almost stopped - or after I'm stopped - depending on the situation.
Overall, this is one of the smoothest bikes I've owned.
