Tank Protector and Shift Clunk - 3/15/2005 4:50:31 PM    vtalin   Posts: 22 Joined: 3/4/2005 Status: offline Does anyone have a any suggestions for a nice looking tank protector for the 1000RR? Mine is only 1 month old and starting to scratch from contact with my leather jacket. Also, do all 1000RRs exhibit a loud clunk when shifting from neutral to 1st? All other shifts are nice and smooth. Kind of embarrassing at lights :). Post #: 1

Mine does it too. I think its pretty normal for a cassette type transmission. I'm not an expert, just relaying what I've read. Tank protectors are all personal preference.

The protecting film is supposedly able to be reused if needed. I got an `05 and will post pics when it gets here in the next couple of days. The film covers the sides and the rear of the tank! Good Luck! (in reply to QuikSilver) Post #: 5
