Clutch Problems, not a GS

[spots25]

It's not a GS, but the 250 Ninja forum kind of sucks, so...

its a 2003 Ninja 250, 4000 miles. The clutch sticks when it just sits for a while, then when you shift into neutral it will die if you don't give it gas. Then, for a while, the clutch drags a bit. Apparently this is sort of common for wet clutch, but none of my other bikes ever did it... Anyways, I gook the clutch apart, cleaned the discs, and put it back together. The problem was solved for a few minutes, but when the bike sat overnight, the problem came back.

Do I have to replace the clutch discs to fix this problem? Any fixes?

Thanks

Were all of the plates flat and not burnt?

Dumb question, but when was the last time the oil was changed?

the middle 250 forum was the one I went to. I wasn't aware there were others. The people there know what they're talking about, but the forum software constricts the usefulness of the forum.

The clutch discs and plates look brand new

I bought the bike with 2300 miles, and it did it then. I changed the oil to mobil 1 synthetic 10w40 at 3000 miles, because it was reputed to help with the problem. It didn't. In fact, i'm going back to conventional oil next change, the syncros feel rougher with synthetic
