Turned on bike this morning, after letting it warm couldn't adjust volume for radio or bluetooth device. Had to shut off bike then start again to get volume adjust to work (but we are all accustom to the quirks of the entertainment system).

Also, had to pump clutch about 15 times else it grabbed waaaaay too soon. But all in all, was a good ride this morning.
 
The radio vol issue happens to me on occasion...

The clutch... I'm on my phone and can't see sigs. .. 14 or 15? 14's had a clutch recall... did you have it repaired? Look into it if not

It is common to have sticky clutch plates just out of storage. Primary oil is on the plates and holds them together. Generally after first startup clutch operates normally of there are no other issues.

Blues is correct as well... sticky plates after sitting a while can be the most likely culprit

I agree with the sticky plates since I did have the recall done on my '14. My V-rod was the same way for 1st ride of year.
