First: Add Seafoam or Marvel Mystery Oil to your existing oil. Then drive it for a hundred miles using all gears, engine speeds, etc. Then, change your oil.
Second: What type/brand/weight of oil are you using? These bikes are finiky about their oil and not consistent at that. I've had Delo 400 and it worked fine for one change, then wouldn't shift for a lick the next. Rotella T is what works consistently for me. Some like Mobile 1 or a full synthetic, but I'm too cheap for that and I change the oil every 5000 miles and that's about every 4 months. You may need to experiment to find out what your bike "likes".
