Thanks everybody for the feedback
I'm not too concerned about it - I just wanted to know what 'normal' felt like. Now that I know it's probably me, I can adjust my riding to suit. Like I said, I've tried a lot of different methods and am yet to find one that feels comfortable - it'll just take a bit of time to get used to it. Next time I'm out I'll try revving it a bit more in a lower gear and see if it likes that!
