I say that because there is a solid transmission from the crankshaft to the rear wheel.
The only flexible transmission rate is introduced by the clutch.
When the clutch is commanded to function, their multiple friction discs start an in-oil-slip that allows the transmission aft that point to slow down respect to the rpm's of the crankshaft (on which end the clutch is installed).
The conditions that I mentioned make some little slip among the discs happen when the clutch is not commanded to engage.

Thanks heaps for the reply Motofool. So to summarise, before my bike was serviced it had a slight slip in the clutch which I noticed when doing 100km/h due to my bike producing a higher than normal rpm at that speed and at idle.
After first service, the fixing of a small oil leak or tightening of certain clamps/parts has corrected this which has changed idle and rpm at 100km/h. Now my bike is running as it should which is exactly like my first 250r.
does that make sense?
