edit: nvm figured it out, it was the clutch switch.

I still can't get the clutch lever to retract normally... it retracts slowly and stops right before it is out completely.

your clutch switch is broken/malfunctioning/not-plugged-in

Where is the clutch switch?  How could I have messed with it during the swap?  FYI: the bike ran perfect 2 hours ago with the old broken clutch lever before I did the swap.

thats exactly why I think its the clutch switch.
the switch is on the bottom of the clutch perch, make sure its plugged in. if it is then use a paper clip to jump the terminals in the plug (im being very serious, it wont hurt it, i did this last summer and have had no problems since.) if jumping the wires fixes it then the swich is bad.

before unplugging anything, try starting the bike (in neutral) without pulling the clutch in.  if it starts, then all you have to do is take a small phillips screwdriver, take out the two little screws under the cluctch perch, turn that oval plastic peice around 180* (this is the switch) and put it back up in there. now try starting it with the clutch in and kill switch on run, and kickstand down, in nuetral, with the key on.  :thumb:  sometimes you forget something if you dont make a list
