When I took delivery of my 05 QP I found the clutch engagement a bit rough particularly in when launch slowly from a stop. The other annoyance was a slow downshift into first; causing hesitation and then an abrupt engagement.
The dealer reset the clutch specs for what he called "more aggressive" engagement - but warned the clutch would wear more quickly. This was a significant improvement in clutch operation and I forgot all about the issue and the adjustment process.
Last month, at about 30K miles I had the clutch replaced. It wasn't slipping yet and the flywheel was fine; but it was time and was making some noise. I got it back; no noise but the slower downshift to first (maybe to all gears not just as noticable in other gears) and the rough low speed launches had returned. I called the dealer and they said that the with the clutch replacment the specs were returned to the factory settings. I set an appointment to get the clutch reset for the more aggressive profile.
Don't know if this adjustment is for everybody but for me it seems to make for a much better clutch operation. I always drive in manual/sport.
