    New to this forum, not long got myself a 2009 Blade in HRC tri colour, had a few bikes, the last one met a sticky end after getting shunted and run over by a truck (Sorry didn't see you mate) type of thing.

    Not had much of a chance to do serious miles as yet but so far feels so much more refined than the GSXR, and loads more shove.

    Many thanks all, quick question I hope, has anyone experienced a ticking from the clutch when the lever pulled in at idle (clutch disengaged).

    A clicking not a ticking? Yeah. They all do it. It's the slipper clutch or to use it's proper name back torque eliminator! :) Not sure about ticking though.

    Welcome by the way. Nice bike.
