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.Before you ride all the way back to the shop, get a cable oiler.
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 :-)
I had a similar issue with the clutch cable on my FZ1 a few weeks ago (which i thought I mentioned), and flushing the cable through mostly resolved the issue making the bike way more pleasant to ride. I flushed it with Double T lubricant spray.

If the issue mostly resolves itself, then you can either go back to the shop (get them to swap the cable) or buy and fit a replacement from Venhill.
