Yep it has got to be the oil.....has to be......I love it!! I get so tickled at all the oil stories sure do!!

Do you have a manual to show you how to adjust the clutch? I am not 100 percent sure but it does not sound too serious, creeping or failure to disengage sounds like the clutch adjustment.

Try bleeding the clutch system ....could have air in it
Fluid could simply be low
Evidently not leaking as you had not said so
If bike sat for awhile actuator piston could be stuck

More serious can be warped and or slipping clutch plates, for what ever reason, mileage, oil additives......but sounds like clutch adjustment .

The simple person I am i have to state the obvious because i would fall foul of what i am about to suggest. You haven't left the side stand down have you? or maybe the cut out switch for the side stand is defective:goofygrin:

That is exactly what I would check as well ,sounds to me like a safety switch is stuck on

He did say it wasn't fully disengaging at the end of last year.More brake and higher idle at stops.Sounds like the clutch needs bleeding to me.
