It's good to hear that you're mostly happy with the FZ1. Long may it continue.
It would be even better for balance if you posted the positives you say you are experiencing with it.
There are peeps on here, well at least those still pointing at planes, who read anything FZ1 related & instantly spout uninformed drivel. Believe me I've seen it for the last seven years.
As to your comments/questions.
Steve has it well covered but I'll add the following:-
I use my heel to operate the sidestand. I have Rizoma rearsets which leaves even less to aim at than stock & from memory std peg position is easier.
Check the 10mm nuts that tighten the mirror stalks. If it's the balljoints get the hammer out.
Tyre pressures can vary between manufacturers for the same model. I run 33F 36R on my 023's.
I have never considered the clutch to be 'grabby' but I always use fully synthetic. Maybe try an oil change, who knows what or how long it's been in there.
cheers
