Ok,
As it is right now, i have to zip tie my clutch cable to the handle bars as tight as i can, i have the clutch lever at an awkward position, and it idles just fine. (although it has some problems shifting into gears sometimes)
But sometimes... it won't idle, keeps bogging down, i have to play with the clutch cable before it will idle... So....
Ive tried adjusting, but it always seems to come out... What do i need to do? (besides buy a raptor)

I can't for the life of me, figure out how a clutch cable will make any difference as to the idle circuit on these machines.... maybe it's moving the accelerator cable at the same time?????

the clutch is still partially engauged and its bogging it down and wearing down my clutch.. as i see it. I tried to idle it up, but then it started acting up, idle kept getting higher and higher, still i had to kill it, and that has happened before without me touching the idle screw, but before it was because of the header had came unbolted.. so... yeah.
I've ziptied the clutch real tight to the frame, and adjuste it a little, tightened every thing down, and it seems to be fine at the moment

If your clutch is still engaged with the lever pulled in, then there are more problems than the position of the lever and cable. Either the cable is not adjusted correctly, you're using the wrong lever, or your clutch basket is grooved and needs replacing or filing so your clutch plates slide freely. Cold engines with cold, thick oil stick the clutch plates worse than a warm engine, so you could try to let the engine warm up before riding. And make sure you're running the right transmission oil.

I think you could just adjust the clutch and clear this problem up.... The little ball in the clutch may be broken as well, and may need to be replaced. I once replaced the clutch plates on mine due to this issue, and later found out all I needed to do was adjust the clutch..... You have to pull the clutch cover to adjust it, that's the biggest bummer.
