I'm sure as time goes on yours will turn out fine too... get some track plastics on there and you'll be happy as a clam again, dragging knee through turn 6

What about the adjustment of the cable down by the clutch cover?

Maybe your adjustment range on the handlebar isn't large enough to get it right... the crash could have moved things around...
I was adjusting by the clutch cover as well, Found a combo that doesn't kick too hard, and grabs 3/4 the way up.. So not perfect but gettin better, Its a different clutch lever so I guess it makes the adjustment different..

It's starting to come back to me that I had a similar problem with the clutch slippin when I put the pazzo levers on..

Took her around the block a few times today.. felt great, she rode straight and accelerated like before..

Yeah you have to be carefull with your clutch adjustments. A service or owners manual should help with this adjustment.

When people tell me their clutch is acting up, adjustment is always the first thing I tell them to check.

Remember, a clutch system is VERY simplistic.
