Hi Nate, at the end of the day, the whole point of the dry clutch is that it grabs hard, that's what they do! The only way to pull away smoothly on the R IMO is to dial in about 8K and dump the clutch, it all works just like it should do then
Obviously not the done thing outside Woolys but there you go
The low speed nastiness is the price you pay for all that lovely top end I'm afraid, even with the slightly smaller throttle bodies you're always gonna have low speed running issues with intakes that size.
I also used to find it hysterically uncomfortable around town for any length of time, as well as hot!
Oh yeah, and remember, you always have to snick her into neutral at junctions and the like otherwise your snazzy new STM clutch will wear out in about 25 minutes! (Just to make town riding even easier)
you can forgive her everything when you get her wound up on those big flowing A roads though
