Start the bike with the clutch pulled in - its the "by the book" way to start the bike. it really helps free off the clutch plates for the initial shift into first.
But anyway I concur, you should likely flush the clutch and brake system anyway as the bike is fairly old. Also replace the brake and clutch lines with braided ones if the original rubber ones are on there (they are supposed to be replaced at 5 years and the rubber ones suck anyway).
