hi guys, im a new rider and i have a question about clutch action on my bike

i have a new scrambler that is still being broken in, ive just started riding it around town and ive noticed that at stops its very hard to get the bike going again after the bike is warmed up, the clutch knocks around alot and almost stalls i have to give it a lot of throttle to get her going its alil unerving in traffic. shifting into other gears when going isnt a problem at all

im thinking this might be because the bike is new and things arent worn in properly yet and that it doesnt have synthetic oil in it either yet

from expericance have you guys noticed the action gets smoother or am i just going to have to deal with it

I would run it past the dealer or anyone with some experience. It could be nothing or a serious defect.

Double check the clutch lever freeplay. It sounds as though your clutch is not engaging fully. The lever should have just a little freeplay at it's end when in the "out" position. I apologize in advance if this is something you've already checked...

This ain't right. Don't panic, probably a combination of break in oil, bad clutch adjustment,etc but best to get it tended to, like, now. So this is a good thing, the bike is not normally awful like this.
