So I bought a 2011 R a while ago in need of some serious TLC from a colleague, one of the issues is the clutch "grabbing" when releasing the clutch lever... the bike seems to shudder and lurch and then gets going.... once moving all is fine, no slipping and operates normally. This gets progressively better as the bike warms up to the point that it all but disappears when oil is hot...

Anybody encountered this before and what should I be looking at as probable cause...? Was thinking oil might be the issue as first resort?

Thanks in advance for the advice...
