I'm sorry I haven't been able to spend more time helping you with this. They started a new round of chemo last week and the new drugs have been kicking my butt. From the diagram it looks like your bike uses the same design as the last gen 1991-2002 NH750. I'm convinced that your issue is coming from mounting the cover. The bolts that go through the springs should be run in all the way with some blue locktite. Then when you mount the cover play around with where the lever is placed, sometimes there is a mark on the case that lines up with the slot on the lever where it clamps to the release rod. What you want is that there is just the slightest amount of slack at the lever when the clutch is engaged and your riding down the road. No static slack and the clutch will slip under power. And as much travel as possible. Not enough travel and the clutch won't disengage properly. A new clutch will only release at full lever travel and as it wears it will eventually get to where as soon as you start to pull in the lever the clutch will disengage. So don't expect the engagement/disengagement point to be the same as it was.
Since you are seeing slipping at both ends of operation I would remount the cover with the lever farther away and add some slack to the cable to compensate.
