Fact they have new clutch mean they admit there is problem with old one then

Fact that Suzuki designed the SV650K3 and subsequent bikes says there was a problem with the previous models then?

Still awsome

What's wrong with standard levers, they work don't they?

Our old ZX-10R race bike only had a shorty Pazzo lever on the brake side because that's the side Danny traditionally falls off. In 4 years it never got damaged, but I never had to replace the clutch lever either, even after he broke the clip on after falling off at Graham Hill bend at Brands

Yes, too expensive.
Problem with clutch also expensive but for the wrong reasons

Way I read problem, it is not extra bhp causing issue at all since they are not slipping under load. Plates get shredded with standard engine. The problem with the "gen 2" clutch is pretty well pinned down to being an issue with where the hub lifts the pressure plate.

Changing ramp angles will not help unless they also fixed problem, ramp angle just changes the force component working to crack the clutch pack. Lower angle means more "leverage" in effect to open the pack. This might make it work better with higher capacity engines, but I don't know the earlier angle.
If I was being cynical I'd say the angle change is marginal and this is an under the table fix for the problem without officially admitting the problem exists. Yoyo and Sigma both sounded pretty defensive, basically blaming it on rider/mech abuse by putting too many ponies through it with weak springs.

How do you racing guys cope with a new motor? I assume that you dont run it in for XXX miles. Is there anything done during the build to lessen the chance of an early pickup/seizure?

Good start to season! What did you hit?

Two bikes who'd crashed in front of me on the start grid @ Snetteron yesterday. Very nasty accident.
