I get mine either from Eurocarparts,the 10-40 semi synthetic TQ brand
Or from the VMCC club,
Specially made for the bike

I changed the oil to 10W40 mineral oil. Made no difference. I've adjusted the clutch lever free play from spec to virtually none to ensure the clutch is fully disengaged when the lever is pulled but there is no difference regardless of setting.

How long since you last rode it?
Did you try to free it up before you started it?
It does need doing if left longer than a few days,
You could get a strap, or cable, and tie around the clutch lever and handle bar,hold the clutch open while parked unused

Could it be an issue with the clutch operating mechanism in the housing rather than the plates sticking ?
The 400 has that odd triangular plate with the three ball bearings in - DS now does a replacement unit.

My 500 has a wormthread,not to bad, the 200 has the 3 balls, works beautifully, light as a feather
The 500 does stick a bit, needs freeing, the 200 never, both use the same oil
