Default Clutch probems

On my 03 660 I look at the end of the cable where it goes into the casing I see that when I pull the lever, the lever moves about half way in and the end of the cable where the casing is it moves a bit. But i don't feel any tension on the lever. Once I pull the lever all the way into the handle bars i feel the tension. But when i let go it lever only springs back half way i have to push it back the rest of the way.

If I adjust the cable at all it the clutch slips. Unless i'm just adjusting it wrong not to sure. Some times when i start it the bike wants to roll a bit with the clutch pulled in. Like i can feel it just kinda chuggin, or i have to hold the brake when i start it in gear cause it wants to roll ahead. I would like it set so that when i pull the lever it doesnt have to go all the way to the handle bars that way i can just use 2 fingers to shift.

I also have a hard time getting into gear and especially into nutral. Is my clutch almost done? and if so what clutch would be the best? im a very aggessive rider.

Thank for the help

they can fray inside, if only a few strains of cable are still intact it can act like your symptoms you have
