I've got a couple of questions regarding my 2014 R1200GS liquid-cooled ...

1. The gearbox seems quite rough and the gear selections don't always feel very precise. I especially hate it when you're stopped somewhere in neutral and need to select first - it makes a loud clunk and or grinding noise. My bike currently has 500km's on the clock. Will this get better with time?

2. I'm coming up for my 1,000km service soon. I stay in the north of Johannesburg so my closest dealers are Northside Motorcycles and Lyndhurst Auto. Which of those dealerships would you recommend for servicing? I've serviced at Northside Motorcycles in the past and know Steve quite well, but don't know what Lyndhurst Auto is like. I bought the bike from Lyndhurst, but have had bad experiences in the past with my car there.

3. What is my 1,000km service going to cost me?

4. The windscreen on my bike rattles quite a lot - is that normal or is there something I can do to rectify it?
