Is this normal?
I just got a new 250 with 100 miles now.
With the clutch lever pulled all the way in and in 1st gear, I can feel some resistance when moving my bike with my feet vs moving it in neutral, even with the clutch lever pulled all the way....  How can I fix this? |

RTM and adjust your clutch lever and actuator.

This is actually normal. There's always some drag in a clutch even with the lever fully pulled, especially when the oil is cold.
If it's adjusted to have 2-3mm of freeplay between the lever & base when released, and the lever isn't bent, you're good to go. |
