However, I do think the friction point on this clutch is encouraging us to put the clutch in slightly before letting off the throttle in order to maintain smooth declutching of the gear. That extra throttle time is raising the revs. At least that feels right in my case. I think the lightweight flywheel is going to do wonders...
