At 103k miles, my RS developed a “clattering” noise in the clutch.The countershaft with the clutch pressure plate mounted to it has about 1mm endplay. This causes the clutch plates to move a bit within the clutch basket which made a dreadful clattering noise. I ended up letting the RS go and replaced it with a ‘15 R1200R. I am surprised with how different the handling is between the R and RS (which I had tubular handlebar installed instead of the clip-ons.) I like the nimble handling of the R, but miss the wind protection of the RS.
