Gear change feels more clunky than usual?

Just noticed that my gear change feels a little more clunky than usual in the last two days. Is it just me or is there something that I can check or need to be aware of?

What could be causing this?

The bike is a K3 with about 16k on the clock. Commutes about 125 miles a week.

Chain tension.

Yeah it could be that actually - just had a false neutral on the A2 too. I can do that myself then (sort of).

Check the tension of the chain first, but always give the foot controls and gear linkage ends a good lube every now and again!

As above, then clutch adjustment, then clutch arm adjustment (behind front sprocket) cover
