Well first off, that fluid has to go!  The system will need bled completely.  It's pretty easy to do.  Also, there's a small pressure release hole where the grip mechanism actuates the pressure in the lines.  That needs to be open and free of gunk.  A pin can help you with that.

Just recently I have notice two issues with my bike. It's a 2001 1500 with 25,000-30,000 miles. It will only start in neutral with the clutch released. It took me a good 30 minutes in the parking lot at work to even think about letting go of the clutch while I hit the starter. Second is trying to get from neutral to 1st is like pulling teeth. Sometimes I just have to start out in 2nd sounding like an idiot revving the engine coming off a stop light.
I have not pulled out the fluke out or even bled out the original fluid out of the clutch yet but I just wanted to see what everyone thinks.
