Are we sure we have OIL ??  The new plates will probably tend to "drag" a bit until you get a few miles on it and go through a couple of hot-cold cycles. With the bike in neutral, let it run long enough to warm up. Pull in the clutch lever, rev it up to 4 or 5K a few times, wait 30 seconds (count, it's longer than you think), and rev it a few more times.....holding the clutch in the whole time....wait another 30 seconds and try to put it in gear. If that doesn't work, try pushing it in 2nd or 3rd gear with the clutch pulled in to see how bad the drag actually IS. If it's really bad, then ...mmmm....maybe the mechanic did something wrong.
