Gear change troubles

[Frazer74]

Hi folks, I'm a new FZ1 owner, bought an 07 model and love it, best all rounder I've ever ridden. My only other yamaha was an R6 so that's all I've got to compare it to. That was slick between the gears, this one is "knotchy", gear changes quite often feel to be in two distinct parts and its easy to release the clutch before it has properly engaged. Can anyone tell me if this is a feature or if there could be a problem, I have a 3 month warranty so would like to move fast if something needs sorting.
Thanks for any advice
