Clutch "Clunk" on first clutch pull after sitting.

[corey]

Recently i needed to remove my clutch slave cylinder on my S2R800 for some reason.. can't quite remember why... I was removing something else and it was in the way.
I have noticed now that on my very first, and ONLY first, pull of the clutch lever AFTER the bike has been sitting for a day or so after riding, that my clutch goes "PLUNK" when i complete the pull and disengage the clutch, almost like something is sticking and then the hydraulic pressure causes the clutch rod to pop out at much quicker rate than normal...

any thoughts? similar experiences? everythings seems to be functioning properly, with no difference in clutch feel at all, just this sound.

The same thing happens to mine ever since I replaced the slave cylinder.  Other than that it is behaving normally.  Maybe others can chime in...

What I do, before starting the bike after it's sat,
shift to  first (hmm should try second)
pull in clutch
roll back & forth until clutch plates release (you'll notice they're stuck together)
shift to neutral & start, you'll notice less of a clunk when shifting into first
Probably a good practice if you start up in gear (with the clutch pulled of course), where the starter would do this work..

I like to minimize surprises.

I was planning to ask about the clutch plates sticking, this must be a feature of a wet clutch.

If you pull the clutch lever in and hold for 20 seconds before shifting into 1st, you'll get less "clunk".
