Gonna do separate posts for each issue, rather than things get lost in a general one.
OK, so did some town and country side riding last night, mainly to test the lights! OMG, mission accomplished, I can see the road! LOADS better than the FZS - Anyway....
I now see what B1kerDude meant about the clutch. It's almost as though it's not releasing, slipping (not sure if that is right). But it's like it's delayed, especially when in first. Get to the bite (closer to the handlebars now I've adjusted it, nice) and it doesn't "engage" for a split second, and then does, causing a not so smooth pull away.
B1kerdude may well be right about the cable sticking, let's hope so, easy fix for my bike shop, hopefully. Hydraulic etc sounds lovely, but funds need to be spent wisely, and not all at once :-)

Money doesn't buy happiness, but it buys beer, and that helps!
