That's a good question.  Is there something breaking down or accumulating in the dino oil, over time, that's causing the plates to stick?

Hey Reo, would seafoam in the oil before the next oil change be good for cleaning those clutch plates?

Another thing you can do is pull your clutch in, put it in 1st gear, then start it with clutch in. (hold the front brake while you start it) This is what I do on my Harley as they have a tendency to do that to. When you hit the start button, it breaks the plates free, then hold your clutch in while it warms up a bit. Once the oil is warm, they don't seem to stick.  My Drifter was bad for that, I went to Kaw synthetic oil, rarely sticks since.

Regards and such,

Here is a link to a page on the site. Seems it is a common problem, and since you have low miles it falls into this case, not a big deal so good news.

I have noticed alot of condensation in window, so i canged oil and rode it hard still has condesation  and clutch is sticking so hard , I have to move bike back and forth 2 feet before it frees up .is there a clutch pack i can put in to help with this or some kind of mod .Kinda embarassing having to drag my bike back and forth in front of my  harley freinds just to ride it home . I pulled clutch cover down to clean out oil goo and want to replace anything now . bike only has 6700 miles. Maybe since I only ride  6 miles a day I need a block heater for my bike  and my truck .
