clutch problems on my 05 R1

I have searched and found several threads about clutch problems, none exactly like mine, and have even posted questions under those threads. But I am not having any luck with responses. Maybe this will catch someones eye, and hopefully have some ideas. My clutch started slipping recently(high rpms only) and I adjusted the cable, and it seemed better for a while, but slipped again. I went ahead and replaced with an EBC kit(fibers, and springs only).The metal clutch plates looked ok, and the fibers were wore down. I put everything back together per service manual, but now the clutch wont disengage completely, making it impossible to shift into N and tries to roll forward when I am stopped.(I have to hold the brake) Ive tried adjusting the cable to the limits and still nothing. I'm at a loss, I know I assembled everything correctly. Anyone have any Ideas? Thanks

okay being an 05.. im gonna say it.. dont take it wrong.. why in hell didnt u replace steels.. hell there only $1.50 a piece?? okay now im done.. really i bet $$ its steels. they easily warp.. mine do it at dragstrp and i pull clutch lever and bike takes off going forward. with slight bend..maybe .004 inch. it makes stack height more in plates and make them lock together and hard to shift. take it apart and get some steel plates.. there dirt cheap. and i bet that will fix ur problem.. trust me u cant see bend in plates but it is there. i bought over 100 steel plates last year.. prolly will again this year. try it.. its only like $9.. so its cheap try. let me know if it doesnt work. send me PM and i will help u figure it out
