every FI's suffers from this...
FI's having a notchy gearbox for sure....

i don't remember conciously blipping, probably because it's second nature to me now esp when riding hard, but i do know that it's very hard to clutchless downshift on the fi (which you shouldn't anyway) without blipping or finally pulling in the clutch. but when using the clutch there's really no need to blip to downshift. clutchless upshifts are always spot on, though they do require a bit more pressure on the lever than a bike with a smoother 'box and also the revs shouldn't have dropped too much below the powerband.
I've never had any issue with gear shifting like you've mentioned. When i mentioned that it's not the best gbox in the industry i meant it's not as smooth as say a honda, but i've never felt it to be the least bit notchy. It's definitely better than many pulsars i've ridden. I would suggest checking out your 'box and clutch mate, coz
afaik it aint a standard char....
