Today when I went riding I started the bike up and let it warm up a little bit and when the other people in the group started to go I pulled in the clutch, shifted into first and the bike jumped ahead like it would if the clutch wasn't pulled in and stalled. I tried to start it in gear with the clutch pulled in and the bike wanted to move ahead when I tried to start it and wouldn't kick over. Very impressed by this I shifted back into neutral and and re started the bike again pulled the clutch in and shifted into first but this time it was fine and remained fine all day.
Any thoughts?
Clutch issue?

There's a '98 YZ125 in the stable that does that every time the bike sits a week or longer. I've tried a couple different types of oil in the tranny and nothing helps. I have to start the bike, push it fast enough that I can get it in gear and hold the clutch in while banging the throttle open and closed for a couple hundred yards until it finally releases. After that, it's all good.
