That's the best way I can describe it. Bike runs fine, oil (syn) level is fine but when I am upshifting into 3rd gear, I get this metallic clink (not a clunk!). Kind of higher pitched if you know what I mean. What's worse, it's not every time.

Any speculation?

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention. A friend helped me change the oil (I am a mechanical klutz!) and shortly after (few hundred miles) I noticed this clink, I checked my oil and needed over 2 and a half quarts! The light never came on so I hope I didn't hurt anything.

He's still my friend, just isn't allowed to touch my bike anymore. Could this have done something? Did I hurt my motor?
