Be sure your battery connections are clean and tight and have your battery professionally tested. If all good there, try doing a clutch initializaion process.

What kind of oil are you using? I've heard of issues when using different types of oil.

I switched from Hond oil to synthetic once a couple of years ago and had a lot of trouble with it. Changed back to Honda and didn't have additional problems.

Since you posted, some are having issues with a gear sensor, and others are having issues with their gear change motor. If you do a search, I'm sure you'll find lots of info.
