It could be. But I doubt it. It's just the way the gears work in motorbikes. For example it's almost impossible to switch through the gears when the bike stands still. Even if the engine is running but the bike is not rolling. You can try it. Try to switch gears with the engine off. If it's not going anymore just turn the real wheel a little bit and voila! the gear slips in:-).

I don't know. I had plenty of bikes with massive ks on it (my Ten has 110000 km on the clock) and hadn't to change the clutch once.

I don't have it with my Tenere ('08).

As Pleiades said: TKC80 would be the choice.
