Default clutch drag

I am waiting for my service manual to arrive and I have a question about my bike. When my bike is off and in gear if I pull the clutch in you can not move the bike, put it in neutral and you can push it. The clutch seems to be ok when the bike is running, just wondering about this.

Fairly normal. There maybe need for some adjustment, but even then the thicker oil makes it hard to break the plates free , as in how you were trying to move the bike. Atf will greatly improve overall clutch function in regards to sticking plates. This reduces the first gear clunk and gives easier less pressure shifting going through the gears. Something to consider down the road, when all else fails, plus these clutches are really designed more for atf than 50 weight oil to work correctly, since the bleed channels are too small for thick oil. Sure it works, but it's not optimum.
