if the bleeding temporarily helps you may have a bad master or slave cylinder, check the system really good for leaks. also check that your hose isnt pinched or cracked.

It sounds like the clutch must be incorrectly assembled. No offense meant, is is easy to miss one little thing. Go to the site below and look at the clutch diagram. Note that the assembly begins and ends with a friction plate and that a metal pressure plate goes between each friction plate. You should have 7 metal pressure plates and 8 friction plates.
The clutch outer basket seldom goes bad unless hit with a hammer or a tree. Why did it need to be replaced? Did you compare the new OEM hub to the old one? They may have given you the wrong basket. The tighter the cable the less likely the clutch will engage. You should have 1/4" end play at the handlebar lever. By the way, exactly what oil did you put in the gearbox after replacing the clutch? Okay, this is a good start. Post a comment if you need to get back to me.

SOURCE: Clutch Cable Snapped
Hook the cable on the case lever then route the cable to the clutch handle. Turn the adjuster lock wheel all the way to the outer end of the adjuster then turn the adjuster all the way into the lever mount. This makes the adjuster as short as possible. Line up the cut-outs in the adjuster and the lock wheel to the cut-out in the lever mount. Hook the end of the inner cable into the clutch handle. Now pull the outer casing of the cable to the end of the adjuster. If the cable end isn't long enough to slide into the end of the adjuster then put the end of the outer cable on the adjuster shaft at the lock wheel and pull the clutch lever in. Now quickly release the lever while pulling the outer cable to the end of the adjuster. Normally it will pop into place so you can set the clutch lever 1/4" end play. You may need to try it a few times until you get it.

Be sure you were given the correct cable, The stock cable is part number 54011. Compair the old cable to the new one.
SOURCE: clutch not engaging cable feels very slack
ok, three different possibilities here. first, you replaced your broken lever with a lever that has the hole for the cable end a little closer to the perch, and you dont have enough range of adjustment to tighten up the cable. this is probably the least likely scenario, since you need a very signifigant change in the lever or perch assembly to throw your adjustment off that far.
second, your cable may have frayed or just broke. follow the clutch cable all the way to the engine, and keep an eye on the arm that it attatches to. it should move when you pull the lever. if theres no movement, then your cables broken or frayed.
if you can see that the cable is pulling on that arm, then your problem may be internal. also less likely though. but as a last resort, if you have the mechanical knowledge, then check behind the pressure plate for anything that may have broken in the assembly that pushes the pressure plate outwards. IM not too familiar with the kawasaki's design, but there may also be an adjustment screw and locknut right in the center of the pressure plate. tightening up just a little usually solves this isssue.
