Replaced clutch plates. Clutch lever is soft, pulls in too easily. Pull rod is facing backward, cable is tight, pull lever spring is tight. Not sure what I am missing..

I know not everyone has one but the spring bolts are 💯 % the thing you need a torque wrench for I have a cheap one but I always get or rent a nicer one for Headbolts and Clutch bolts in cars and bikes. Spring bolts especially.

Did you replace the pack springs also?
1
Yes, came with the kit.

They may just be lighter springs.
Does it ride OK? Clutch engages without slipping in higher gears?

If it’s like my bike, all of the resistance should come from the springs. Are you sure they are the right ones? Are the compressed enough, like could you be using longer bolts to compress them?

I made sure they were snugged nicely. Will check again.

Does the clutch plate move when you pull? Maybe the bearing lever thingy isn’t set up right?

That’s what I think. Pull rod isn’t set right. I’ll keep trying but dang it I hope i got the right parts because I got track day next weekend.

longer bolts wouldnt help, they would reduce the compression on the springs.

Yes - exactly.

What clutch brand? Recheck clutch kit /instructions. If everything is correct you may have too thin of a stack.

EBC from sportbike track gear.

I see it was r6. Is the actuator correct? The piece going through the clutch cover? There is a arrow on the case to line this up. Line it up wrong and you dont get enough travel.

I keep hearing that the EBC springs are softer than OEM. Had my clutch done last year and mechanic insisted on OEM springs and recommended EBC plates and i wasn't going to argue.

The clutch lifter mech on these bikes uses a rack and pinion system. You have got the gear and pinion in the right relationship, They can be a pain to get right tho. Make sure the lifter mushroom is inside the clutch pressure plate, Ive seen them installed on the outside which will give the same issue.
You can see the correct assembly placement here.
