Thanks for the replies.. It seems I'm gonna have to learn to live with it... Done around 150 miles now and I am slowly getting used to it, but it still feels like a worn out clutch as compared to my older v7 racer which had the biting point at the complete opposite - almost right after releasing the lever.
This is my first hydraulic clutch bike and what I find most odd is the late biting point and the short distance from biting point to being fully released.
Thanks
