Can you elaborate on this? This is the first bike I've ridden with a slipper clutch, not sure what effects/feelings I should expect with it.

One thing I've noticed is that if I'm WOT and shift up, as the clutch engages it almost feels like it's spinning a bit before full engaging. Not sure if this is an imagined feeling, or if it's at all related to the slipper clutch, or similar to what you're describing. Just something I've noticed when riding hard.
