I replaced the clutch recently with a driveline performance kit off ebay. First time doing it and the description sold me. Maybe not the best but it is what it is at this point.
My question is:
Should the clutch engage/disengage only at the end of the pull on the lever?
On my kfx and other bikes it starts engaging when I released gradually until the lever is fully released.
I only have to pull the lever in about a 1/4 pull to disengage the clutch but when releasing it dont hit until the lever is at the last 1/4 pull out.
I hope this is understandable.
Maybe a stretched clutch cable??? Never had that before but this is our first blaster....
 
Did you install the clutch per the service manual's instructions? Does the clutch arm line up with the "notch" in the case?

There is an adjustment for what you are describing. The small "screw" in the center of the pressure plate is used for adjusting the engagement point of the clutch.
 
I guess I should read the manual before I ask questions. You know how dads are with instructions though...LOL
I will do it this weekend and report back. Appreciate the insight on my oversight.....:-[
