Clutch in / resistance in 1st gear normal?
I noticed my bike, '10 with 1k miles , feels like the clutch drags in first gear
When Im sitting on my bike in 1st with clutch pulled in, trying to walk it backwards out of the garage, it was slower than if it was in neutral. Bike was not on. So I rode it, rides fine. Tried it again with bike warm, motor off. Same thing. Tried with it running , same thing. Am I crazy? Now the '09 doesn't seem to this with almost 3k on her. Any ideas?

Your clutch isn't adjusted properly. There shouldn't be any noticeable drag in first gear.
Put it on a rear stand, start it up, put it in first gear with the clutch disengaged. The wheel should turn just slightly and you should be able to stop it with like one finger. If it turns noticeably, your clutch needs adjusting. Follow the procedure in the manual or wiki.
