Hi Everybody I've just joined the group and I need some help all ready, how bad is that?

The issue that I have is my SV650S tends to get stuck in first or second gear when you come to a stop making it all but impossible to get neutral meaning I have to stay thers holding the clutch in. It's worse when warm but slowly becoming most of the time now which is starting to concern me a little. It feels very much like the clutch is dragging slightly. If you turn the engine off the gears select perfectly everytime hot or cold, making me think clutch not gearbox issue. The bike is a K4 2004 which has only done about 4000miles and I've had her since new servicing is done by myself using Suzuki only parts. Has anybody else had this happen to them or do any of you have some ideas as I don't fancy replacing the clutch as it should last longer than this?
