My 2011 FE390 is the same. Clutch is "sticky" - but after oil warms up to operating temp it is just fine. I know several others who have the 70 degree Bergs and they are all the same.
When cold, I start in neutral, then give it some throttle BEFORE putting it in first (or it dies).
Also, neutral is a little hard to find - so I often kill the engine then hit neutral when needed. Overall, this well-known "glitch" is an easy work around. Once I got accustomed to the quirk, it never bothers me. Good luck with a GREAT bike! - Husageezer in Colorado.

+1 on HusaGeezer. If its just on startup and cold engine its normal.
Another way of separating the plates prior to start is to put a high gear in and with the clutch in roll the bike backwards and they let go (maybe :)). Backwards is just because you get good force holding the bars pulling rather than pushing.
The routin I use is much like HG's as Im lazy. Start engine in neutral, with clutch in get the bike rolling a tad over walking pace, put 1:st in, with the clutch still in, blip the throttle and plates will separate.
