Just an experience I thought I would share.
Usually, when I shift I try to do it as quickly as possible(for smoother shifting). I also use 2 fingers when pulling in the clutch. Today I found out that, because I use 2 fingers, I was not engaging the clutch when shifting. I actually did not know that you could shift without pulling in the clutch on an R3. From what I understand this can cause really expensive wear on your clutch. So now I have started to use my full hand on the lever and ensure that I always fully engage the clutch before shifting.
I hope this will help somebody out.
