Have a look in the FAQs and search for hesitation. It could be down to a number of things really, so there isn't really a definative answer I can give i'm afraid

Heat soak?

But Yeh check the faq, I find you have to rev up to 2.5k and let the clutch up slowly to allow the transmission to take up the slack.

I had this happen to me a few times, it's quite embarassing in a town centre when you're posing!

Since cleaning the Idle air control valve out with some carb cleaner it's not happened since [touch wood]. There's a lot of help in the FAQ regarding the various prob's, but mine was full of crap.
