    When I pull in the clutch from time to time, essentially when it's up to temperature their is a slight stick, a bit like a seal braking, it's only slight but very annoying. It's bin like this from new so I thought it was because it was new, however it's still the same after 700 miles? Has anyone experienced this issue, will it improve or is it a warranty issue?

    Is it like a knot in the cable getting stuck, if so more than likely the slipper clutch and totally normal, mine does the same.

    Yes that might be it, why does it do that?

    I had a issue like this 2 months ago. it was as if the clutch cable was not fully releasing properly as the bite point had changed and when i gave it a handfull the clutch was slipping slightly. looking back it does sound right that the slipper clutch wasnt working properly. it has never done it since so fingers crossed

    My two 08+'s have both done it too. Annoying at first but you do stop noticing it.
