Clunky gear shifting ?

I'm just going to speculate about that sound, I have an 05 r3 so I know they do have a agricultural sound when shifting; maybe you can try changing the oil and the final drive gear oil, "Remember I am just speculating, good luck and be safe"
 
I'm late to this party, but every bike I've ever fiddled with the transmission will get clunky when its good and hot. Mainly after say 100 miles in my experience...I just think it's the nature of the beast in bikes whose transmissions have to bathe in the same oil that has just been cooking in the engine. No long term harm, but the parts expanding from heat cause odd fitments, and strange shifting. It all sorts itself out when the bike cools down.
