PS. The video shows pretty normal behaviour. Of course there will be very slight resistance with the clutch compared to neutral. Presuming you've pushed a few bikes around in gear (bump starting maybe?), you'll know how much to expect. 

But it doesn't look undue in the video. So the drag issue might be solved, but the bump, jerky pick up still eludes..

Yup that was me, and there are many bikes these days that come straight from the factory with full synthetic oil in the crankcase, same goes for many cars as well. Other than the extra you pay, full synthetic is superior in every single way to dino.....I run Motul 7100 4T ester synthetic and put it in at around 525 miles. 

I run Fully Synthetic 10-50 Race oil Motul V300 VERY expensive. Have done for years on my last 3 bikes. Brilliant oil the smoothest gear changes ever. But £60 for 4 Litres.
