New Owner - Clutch / Transmission

[GregW63]

Greetings.  This is my first post, I did a search and couldn’t hit the right words, or no one else has this problem.  I’ve had the bike for two weeks, a 2016 model with 14k on the odometer.  Bike seems to run flawlessly and I have had no issues after 1600 miles already, other than when I shift into first from neutral, there is a grinding and clunk.  This is more pronounced if I sit with the bike running in neutral for a few minutes, like at a stop and then engage the gear.  Clearly the transmission gears seem to still be spinning as I can hear the grinding/rubbing as I try to engage the shifter.  Is this a potential clutch issue, or something else?

I also own a 2004 R1100S and do all my own work.  It has a very clunky transmission, so I’m used to a bit of that, but I don’t get the gear grinding I get with the RS. 

I’m going to bleed the clutch and check the slave, once I figure out how to do that.  I don’t have any manuals yet for this bike and haven’t found all the best resources yet, so any help there is also appreciated. 

Thanks!
