Only 500 miles on this bike, so far. When I'm at a stop in 1st gear, the RPMs will rise when I let the clutch out about halfway . I'm not even touching the throttle. It this normal? I've never really experienced any other bike doing that. It makes two-finger clutch pulls difficult because the lever won't go in all the way and the engine won't idle properly.

It will stay at the elevated RPM until I pull the clutch lever all the way back (after about 4 seconds) or put it in neutral and let the lever go.

Could this be a clutch cable adjustment problem? ECM?
