Strange slipping...
Right now, it's minor but I am worried.
Only notice in 1st gear, but when applying throttle and when completely off the clutch, when I continue speeding up I feel a minor little 'slip' every now and again. Almost feels like the clutch got slightly engaged.
Any ideas of what I can look at? I know I give nothing to go on, but I figure I better start asking soon at the least.

I get that when I launch hard off the line, but not normal take offs.
If you are worried, you know who you must go and see ! These bikes are too damned expensive to have problems like that.

Mine does that too on a fairly hard launch. My theory is that the bike squats on accel and when the suspension lifts back up the slipping sensation is a combination of tire rebound and drive belt rebound as the slack catches up.
