My '97 doen it too. When I bought it, I was told "They all do that" ... which I believe to be true. My method ....warm up the bike in N for a minute or two ... get on the bike , pull in the clutch and push along on a flat surface like a skateboard, then click it into 1st while keeping the clutch pulled in. Ride circles and rev the engine and it works normal after about a minute.

An old mechanic friend told me ... when I fix something ...and it ends up worse than when I started ... chances are, the item I fixed is the item that is broken. Tell him to pull the carb and clean all the jets ... could be that simple. Sticking slide ... gunk from the empty tank stirred up clogging the main, sticky choke. Replace the plug ... check the plug wire and cap. Maybe the plug wire is not all the way on. Go for the easy stuff first

My '97 drags only when cold ... first click from N to 1. I warm it up ... then give a few pushes like a skateboard and click it in to 1. After I break the discs free, it does not drag again ... until I let it sit over night. I was told this is normal for a Techno. Yes ... No.

Mine too. I bought it used and it has a Galfer 4 piston caliper. Locks the front wheel no problem.
