When you leave the bike for a while (overnight) the plates dry out and stick. It's worse the longer you store the bike.

Gold Boarder Posts: 764 Re:Starting in gear 3 Years ago   I sometimes have to roll the bike slightly when starting it in gear. It seems to depend on where the stroke is at the time. If it should happen to lurch when I hit the start button I need to roll forward a bit or it won't start. If I pop it to neutral, it will start everytime. As far as parking in gear...ALWAYS...and to start another over done debate...gas is always left ON!   Logged     My Album   The administrator has disabled public write access. #225424 Drago (User) Rubber-side Down! Junior Boarder Posts: 147 Re:Starting in gear 2 Years, 8 Months ago   Talking about sticky clutches due to being mated over the winter, would it be advisable to use a zip-tie to very slightly disengage the clutch for the winter? OR would both sides be dry then and be a worse situation?   Logged     The day I stop learning is the day I start dying.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #225428 Stocked (User) Wayne Platinum Boarder Posts: 1221 Re:Starting in gear 2 Years, 8 Months ago   Drago wrote: Talking about sticky clutches due to being mated over the winter, would it be advisable to use a zip-tie to very slightly disengage the clutch for the winter?

Expert Boarder Posts: 461 Re:Starting in gear 2 Years, 8 Months ago   I always park mine in gear. Have seen, too many sportbikes blow over in the desert wind from being in neutral. Now with the tricky air ride the stand is so damn long I've got to find just the right spot to put it so it leans enough.
