My tiny brain finally correlated the almost imperceptible increase in snatchiness on low speed pick-up with the equally slight slow down of tick over. The bike has always idled at 1100 rpm but over the last few weeks (months?) it has slowed down by about 500 rpm.  Increased it to 1250 as an experiment and the improvement is amazing. Now picks up from tight second gear corners with no snatch or jerk. Worth a bit more experimenting to find the optimum minimum tick over speed.

 

Wonder why it slowed down anyway.
