I can't really help much with the clutch... Mine works alright. There is an adjustment right on the clutch lever. Also, what oil is in it? If it's old or the wrong kind, it can cause clutch problems. Put fresh 10W40 MC oil or 15W40 Shell Rotella HD oil and see if it sticks better.

You might also just need to get used to the clutch. Different bikes behave a little different. If it ain't slipping, you will probably be able to get used to it. Come to think of it, mine might even behave a bit like yours, but it's never bothered me.
