After 120 miles 90% of the issues have been resolved.

Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.
Robin,
I just found this post, so my point is probably moot. I replaced the fibers and half the springs on my 750 a few years back and had the same issue, just not as severe. I was getting a bit of forward motion with the clutch lever fully engaged and shifting was quite a bit tighter (too tight in fact) for the first 200 miles or so. I used a vesrah kit BTW.
After thsoe couple hundred miles wore by, the clutch acted just the way it should and at the same time I my hand had got used to the heavier pull. My opinion is that it takes a few hundred miles for the surfaces of the clutch fibers to get "settled in" to the clutch plates. The theory is no different than putting new brake pads on an old rotor where finally the surface of the pad matches up with the surface of that particular rotor.
Safe riding-
Jon

Just a bit to add to this thread. I've had my 850 since April of last year, bought it with 25k on it, now have 41k. When cold, mine has always shifted hard, and creeps in first gear. When it's warmed up everything is fine. If the oil is due for changing , the creep problem/shifting problem is worse. I've done clutch adjustments to no avail and as far as I know, it is still the original clutch. I know, and have asked the two previous owners if they changed anything out, and they never did. I just thought it must be a Suzuki thing, because most of the smaller Suzukis we use in the MSF trailers do it too.

Thanks for your comments. I just got back from Galena and I can attest that any problem I had with the clutch is gone.
Thanks for your attention
