Clutch plates sticking together. My bike still but it doesn't stall. It's done it a few times in the past, though. I'm not sure that there's much you can do other than putting it gear and rocking it back and forth with the clutch lever pulled before starting the engine.

The clutch problem you describe is normal and happens on bikes with wet clutches. If you blip the throttle with the clutch pulled in you will find that the plates separate and the first gear jerk is not nearly so bad. What happens is the oil is sqeezed out from between the clutch plates while it sits causing the plates to stick together somewhat. Brad Davis> > Any suggestions on the clutch problem??? > > misha

What the other guys said, normal for wet clutches, no problem except your not riding enough>misha
What really bothers me is that your dealer does'nt know this, I
woouldn't let anybody there touch a screw on my bike. Based on others
experience w/ the shoddy service some (most) dealers now provide, I'd
check out all the set up on the bike to be sure something wasn't
missed or tightened properly.
Cold weather, my A15 is just a couple of cranks more and a touch more
of the enrichner (choke) and away.
