I was trying to change out my clutch plates when I ran into a problem.  I got the whole thing apart took off the old plates put on new ones.  Then i slid the outer metal part of the clutch plate (part nine on the bike bandit schematic I couldn't find the real name for it name for it) housing on put in the springs and started to tighten down the bolts that hold the springs on.  I got the bolts tightened down to hand tight and then tried to tighten them with a tourque wrench but the housing just slid around and around.  Not the whole clutch body just the final plate that hold the springs.  I could not find a way to get it to stop I checked the manual and it seems like I am not missing any peices.  I also noticed that on my old springs (factory I think) one is longer than all the others is this for a reason does the long one go a special place? or am I losin my mind

all the springs should be the same length.

I bet you got the "push piece" (the part in the center that the clutch rod pushes on to release the clutch) in wrong somehow.

Take it apart and try again...
