Does anyone else have this issue?
Seems to be that in the AM when I go to leave for work the clutch is SUPER grabby. Like light-switch-stall-the-bike grabby, there's no slip. Once everything warms up it's fine. But I'll fire the bike up, pop it in gear and as I start letting the clutch out it either grabs and stalls or there's a LOT of notchyness as it's hitting the friction zone as opposed to the relative smoothness it has when warm. I don't recall this happening until the last week or two. Bike is a 2019 with ~2200 miles.

My 2020 just started doing this not long ago. My thoughts are the clutch plates sticking until the oil warms up.

Maybe time for an oil change. It's not just mileage that you need to look at for oil change intervals it's time too. I do mine every other month in the bike and car but the conventional consensus every 3 months or 3,000 miles. I don't care what the oil companies say there is no way in hell I'm changing my oil every 5,000-10,000 miles.

I'm pretty sure they are in the business in selling oil and would have you change sooner then later. 3 to 5k miles I think is to soon for Dino oils in a car but maybe good for bike and way to soon for synthetic. Maybe if your racing or alot of clutch slipping would require sooner intervals.
The only real way would be to have your oil tested and thats why I say this I have read up on this subject on many forums in many different motorsports categories and the guys that have it tested at the manufacturer recommended intervals comes up they could have gone longer between oil changes.

Will you might want to pull the clutch cover off and see if anything is hanging up after the cable and lever checks out the clutch cable on my bike is very tight between the frame mounting bolt almost binding if you turn the bars while pulling the lever . I've tried to reroute with no luck .
My ktm had 6k and the basket started to Grove and it felt like it was sticking along with a burnt Friction plate.

Book says to do it at 3 so I count that as mt 3k change. Did the 600 mile oil change back in like October or something |

I never thought about this until recently but my bike stalls almost every time I pull out of my driveway and then it's perfect. I thought it was me but this makes sense. 14,000 miles and always have run mobil 1. I'm not worrying about it.

My 09 would start to become harder starting and would stall out . It was the battery going bad .
