Thanks to all for bringing up this adjustment. I had no idea it existed.
I was experiencing all the symptoms that Matt said this fixed on his CB, sloppy shifting and a choppy feeling when closing the throttle even though my chain and cables were adjusted fine. I was honestly starting to fall out of love with this motorcycle because it just didn't feel as polished as a bike with this much engineering put into it should.
Before my commute home today I let it warm up and while it was doing so I could easily hear the knock in the lower end that multiple people on here have noticed. It sounded bad. I adjusted just about between making the whirring noise on in the top end and the clacky noise in the bottom end and rode home. It's like a new motorcycle. Shifting from 1st to 2nd is finally smooth. Shifting all over actually is so much better. It feels much more confident overall.
