Ok you piss taking buggers , the point I was making was the fact that a new owner may possibly benefit from being aware of this , but wishing I not bothered now !

You shouldn't discriminate, not only new owners will benefit from knowing this!
On a serious note, I never noticed a difference but I will now pay attention.

I'm guessing most long term owners wouldn't even give it a second thought ? But yes , not one to discriminate me !
I only thought it worth a mention as of all the bikes I have ever owned , I have never known one so sensitive to the correct free play adjustment as the R3 !
As for the piss taking ? I more than deserve it !
 


+1 on that !!!

And I'm referring to you second statement
 

I've adjusted many clutches in my time and had to learn the hard way to adjust them when everything is warm. Some bikes get loose and some get tight. Returned bikes are bad for business and rep.

I just got my beast last weekend and the owner had about 10mm of Freeplay which was not a fun test ride. It would grab with the lever just off the grip. Of course I didn't notice until it was home, but the clutch rattle sounded like a snake was near by. Anyways yes always adjust clutches at normal operating temps.

I was beginning to wonder why nobody had mentioned this very important piece of information. Now I can rest peacefully.

I adjust mine on the fly after the engine has warmed up. Come to a stop sign... adjust... ride and see how it shifts... stop...adjust if needed.

I did the same. Eventually finding the "right" spot. These bike shift like crap if there isnt at least a little freeplay at the lifter piece.
