Hey guys. Mr again. I hate to bring up another issue but this time I am not sure if this is an actual problem or nature of this beast.
I've noticed that after I took my bike in for service to have my brakes checked out and have an oil change done, when I start up my bike in the morning I always let it warm up for a few minutes while I get ready with my helmet and gloves. I know some people don't do this but I live in a cold climate. I have been riding to work in almost freezing temperatures.
When I get on the bike and shift into first gear and start releasing the clutch lever, the bike engages too quickly. Instead of the clutch engaging toward the end of the lever action it's almost at the beginning. You can easily stall the bike with only a tiny amount of clutch release. .
I know 100 percent that this bike has never done this to me since I bought it in November. I've done a lot of cold weather riding and only noticed this after my bike had been in for service.
Once the bike has been ridden for a couple of minutes the clutch action is perfect and feels exactly how it should. The problem only happens after I start the bike on a morning or after a day of work.
It feels like maybe the clutch plates are not moving freely or stuck together until they are warmed.
Please tell me this is an easy fix if this isn't normal! I have never owned another bike that does this in all my years of cold weather riding.
