    I bought a 93 VFR750 that has been sitting 4-5 years. Is it normal for dry clutch plates to make the bike "creep" a bit?? I've changed all the fluids, bled the clutch, and made sure the plates weren't physically stuck together... Thanks for the help in advance!!

    That will probably go away after you've ridden awhile. Yes, unused clutch plates can stick together.

    you're experiencing a common problem. let the bike run in neutral at the minimum to get some oil flowing over the plates, once they break loose, and you ride a bit, it wont be an issue. I fully expect this when I start my interceptor up.
