The FIM route does help, but it needs setting up correctly.
The stock gearing is very high. 14/36.................making town riding difficult.
14/38 will help and you'd not need to change the chain. 14/40 is pretty popular but you'll need a longer 96 link chain.
Slipper is stock on the R, although your aftermarket one will be more refined using bearings rather than plain ramps. Doesn't affect pulling off though.............
You can check, and if possible fit one or two dished plain plates. This will make the take up a little more refined, although still grabby.
One other "help" is a different clutch slave cylinder. Makes the lever lighter and helps with feel a little.
