It's hard to say when you've seen both sides of a failure...clutch getting
locked up and the clutch not engaging. Best thing I could suggest is check
the temp. If it's running too hot, replace it.

This is 'normal' according to my dealer. Sometimes after parking it hot and
letting it cool, the fan will remain engaged until it frees up after
starting
later. It rarely stays engaged more than a 10-15 seconds in my case. A
good
rev will usually free it up but it easier to just wait it out. If you get
your
dealer to fix it under warranty, let me know!
