Update on this - changed the oil and filter, run for a tank of fuel...problem persists. Identified that there are instances where it doesn't affect it - less likely to do this when it is cold and idling at 1500 or above - the idle is a little up and down when warm which could explain that - do others experience a temporary drop in revs when putting the bike into first gear from neutral?

Checked clutch cable/adjustment, it's right in the middle and plenty adjustment either way...as you say, i think only thing left is to pull apart the clutch...problem being is finding a good one to replace it with!!!

you can buy new steel and new friction plates for the clutch no troubles.
