How's your chain tension? You want it to be 1/2 to 3/4" of slack. You measure this by leaving the clutch engaged and gently rolling the rear wheel forward until the piston comes up to a compression stroke. At that time the upper chain run will go slack. That's where you measure.
A chain that is too tight or too loose can bind. That might be what you're feeling.

Chain slack is fine, clutch lever pulls in less than in inch and a half, enough to fully disengage the clutch but still rough, should I just take it out fir the first time and break it in?
