Default clutch slipping when cold

Okay, I have searched this forum, and haven't found a problem quite like mine, so I am starting a new thread. My 05 Raptor, when I first start it, the clutch seems to slip. In other words, when I clutch it and shift into first, the bike wants to roll forward, or stall out. This problem seems to correct itself when it warms up. Adjusting the cable has no affect. Is this a viscosity problem. Has anyone experienced this?

what happens is the oil forms a suction on the clutch plates and when they are cold they suction more... but once it warms up it should stop this

If it bugs you that bad you could always adjust your clutch further out.

In most cases, If I have not rode in a day or two, I have to hold the brakes when I click into gear for the first time or else it will jump forward.

it does this same exact thing to my brother's raptor 350. don't worry about it. just make sure there arent any children or your shiny new car directly ahead.
