Just had first service on 2015 gsa and now clutch plates stick so that after a few days with no use cannot push bike ( not running, in gear, clutch pulled in) at all. Start the bike and put in gear the clutch works, after a couple of minutes can turn off and push in gear no problem. Seems like sticking clutch plates to me. Only difference before first service when all was ok and now is oil change.

Anyone else had an issue?
Cheers

It's quite normal what your experiencing on majority of bikes, the oil is thicker whilst it's cold and that's why your experiencing the drag, oil acts as a coolant so once running if you don't have the issue everything is fine.
 
Not normal

I am not talking about increased drag but physically impossible to push bike when in gear. It comes off the main stand and stops dead. Not normal at all, at least not on the many wet clutch bikes I have had before.

I should be having my first service in a week or so, I will let you know if it happens to me.

You should try an older dirt bike (Trials or Enduro) - you literally have to stick the front wheel against a wall to break the lock on the clutch plates, when you engage 1st............the WC is a pussy in comparison:D
