Ok thanks for suggestions guys. I still didn't made the clutch adjustment at the bottom end, after talking with a more experienced friend of mine he suggested to shift gears faster (while engine is still in high revs instead to wait to return to idle) and it looks like there is an improvement. Maybe this is normal and expected thing to do but as this is my first 'big' bike I have a lot to learn.
If it turns out that is not a solution I'll try with clutch adjustment and then maybe adjusting the position of the gearlever as Fazerider suggested.
Cheers
Erm......what???
So, when you're in traffic, with low revs, what does he say to do then?
Just curious........ :tape
Adjusting your gear lever position is all good and well, but if your clutch is not adjusted properly in the first place then it's all a bit pointless!

The experienced friend is right: if the throttle is closed too far for too long the engine revs won't match what they should be for the new gear and he'll be in the realms of engine braking... that will put load on the gears and make a clean change less likely. What puzzles me is that if the OP has a problem with his technique, why was this not picked up on during the training and testing regime?
