mine got stiff shifting because the slave cylinder on the clutch had trash in it. I had bled almost 2 full bottles of fluid through it trying to chase an air bubble down before I concluded it was bleeding by in either the master or the slave.
Is it stiff if you clutch it again in neutral before trying to go to first (e.g. double clutch)?

milky oil often indicates a blown head gasket, but I'm not sure on these bikes. definitely sounds like a good bit of moisture got in there. Other than leaving the oil dipstick out during a downpour, I'd be trying to pin down the source of that water.
