On 1st gear the clutch return a stange feeling when starting to roll, it's like a spring unwinding feeling when the clutch finish to slip and engage fully ... Any comments.
Thanks.
 
Just a guess -- there are thick springs in the clutch assembly called cush springs. They help keep engagement from being a sudden jerk. If some of them were broken or missing, engagement might feel springy? If it's not that, while you're in there hopefully you'll see the problem

lol. It sounds like a possibility to me and I can't think of any others. If something is stiff from heavy springs and you start removing springs, it's eventually going to feel springy... Broken springs is more likely if someone has dogged it around a lot.
 
You might be able to compress the new spring with a vice grip. Wear goggles and maybe a mouth protector... Second thought just do it with your helmet on.
