Default possible clutch issue?

ok so I've been having an issue with my 95 f3. some days it rides smooth and other days it doesn't.here are the symptoms: feels like I'm riding with the brakes on. like the bike is working against me or extra hard. more vibration than usual. klanky when first shifting into gear but is better in higher rpms. when rolling off the throttle the bike slows down faster than usual and kinda nosedives. I have had trouble shifting into 1rst and sometimes have to stomp pretty hard several times to get it into first. so I'm pretty sure its a clutch problem, seems like the clutch isn't fully disengaging, l I've tightened my clutch lever and it seems to have lessened the problem a little. has anyone else had issues like this? any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! thank you!

hmm.....no thoughts?...well looks like I'll be taking it to the shop on monday. just wanted to add, when I pull in the clutch it coasts fine but really boggy otherwise...I wonder if its an engine issue?..the problem has been permanent since i put in the kn airfilter and did the oil change. the filter that came out was nasty dirty!...would going to a dirty filter to a clean one affect engine response to the point where something else needs adjustment?
