Hi Brian, the Oberon is a popular upgrade on clutch slave cylinders, they have a larger diameter piston than standard which lightens the clutch lever effort, at the expense of slightly reduced travel of the actuator rod. This may potentially be contributing to the clutch "drag" when cold, but it's a good quality upgrade and worth having. My solution in the past has been to select neutral before coming to a complete stop, as it's much easier to select when the gears are still moving, or rocking the bike and forth when stationary to select. I learned this on the old "brit" classic bikes I have owned in the past, mainly Nortons. Grade of oil used might also be a factor.

The photo links worked, by the way!
