You dont appear to have the proprietary  cable bridge installed that is inclusded with the clutch kit??  Looks like your oem cable bridge??  This may be causing your issue...and or not clocking the lever on the splines properly

Cable bridge is from Camel, for sure.

Also in these pictures the cable is not properly adjusted, but thats just on these pics. I just took the pictures in middle of trying different settings.

You have the arm installed too far clockwise on the splines.

Use a marker and draw a line across the arm and shaft as it now sits.  Remove the arm  and install it back 2 splines/maybe more and try again.

 

When you install the arm and push it forward it should stop approx 90 degree to the front of the bike.  

Watch Camels install video around the 7:30 mark.  You will see when installing the arm it is actually pointing slightly to the rear of the motorcycle.  When you push ahead with your finger it should stop approx 90 degrees to the front of the bike.  

 

 

Yes, I installed it little more clockwise than stock because I ran out of cable lenght (even with adjusting).

But when installing the arm more anticlockwise - wouldn't that decrease spring power even more?

The lever arm must be installed as mentioned.  

Make sure the slack adjuster at the lever is also turned in as far as possible to give the maximum amount of slack available at the engine.

 

The threaded end of the cable at the engine should stick out the left side of the cable bridge as far as possible to give maximum slack.  

Fix the arm first, worry about the slack after.  

Look a the pic Boondocker posted on page one of this thread.  That is how it should look when you are finished.  You can't install the lever rotated forward like your first pics.  You will never make it work that way.
