Default 01 gixxer clutch drivin me nuts

I have an 01 750 gsxr. The clutch has slowly begun to relase higher and higher. I first replaced the friction plates, with no difference. Next, i did the clutch discs, still, minimal change. I have now put in a clutch cable and the clutch still seems to engage way too high.

i have adjusted the cable on the case and at the bar. The only way i can get the clutch to begin to slip at a lower lever position is to have a ton of free play in the cable. This only simulates what i am tryin to achieve by bringing the clutch lever closer to the bars.

I want the lever to feel smooth and tight again. What's going on, I thought i had changed everything out. All thats left is the clutch pressure disc. Is this a common problem?
