Gearbox

Just after knowing if my gearbox is the same as most out there.

Bike is a 11/12 built Tenere registered 10/14, with just over 2000k's on it.

When I change from 2nd to 3rd gear there seems to be a 'clonk' when going into gear rather than a 'click' like the rest of the gears.
I've tried changing slower, letting the rev's drop to idle then change, holding the clutch in for a bit then change, blipping the throttle when changing, adjusting the clutch cable & drive chain but nothing makes much difference.

I did however notice on the first service that the Dealer used Motul 3100 oil not the Forum preferred Motul 5100. Is one oil thicker than the other & would it make much difference?

I hope I'm not on the way to a dog failure like other unfortunate 2009 Tenere owners.

Cheers for now.
