If the disc is installed correctly the clutch will engage and disengage smoothly. In most cases if the disc is installed backwards the clutch disc will bind against the flywheel/crankshaft bolts and not release resulting with a clutch that doesn't disengage. More than likely if the disc was installed backwards the disc is now damaged and will need to be replaced.
Possibly the clutch was installed facing the wrong way, or the clutch has not had enough time to properly seat.
No, a clutch has nothing to do with effeciency of the engine.
I have seen some that would go in backwards But 99% of them will not set flat on the fly-wheel if it is backwards. The clutch disk will hit the fly-wheel bolts if not installed right.
The clutch is shot or in need of an adjustment.
Installed incorrectly, driver who rides the clutch, clutch out of adjustment, weak pressure plate, that should have been replaced along with the clutch.
Just got this bike. Never mind- just researched and noted the bike has a hydraulic clutch/cylinder - I checked and the fluid was almost out - that would explain it.
Having sold and installed many clutches, I have learned not to use an rebuilt or remanufactured clutch. I would only use a NEW aftermarket or original equipment clutch regardless of brand name. Toyota buys their component parts from vendors so often the aftermarket item is the exact same clutch you would buy if you got it right from Toyota. I hope this helps a little. Mark
Clutch release bearing, if installed in this particular Nissan transmission (I don't know the specifics of this particular transmission), probably needs to be replaced.

You didn't bleed out the air would be my first guess.
I would suspect a weak clutch slave cylinder or clutch master cylinder which may be preventing the clutch from disengaging fully; The slave cylinder is connected hydraulically to the clutch master cylinder. The clutch master is where you add fluid.
Possible bad clutch will do it. Check to make sure that the trans fluid is full with the right viscosity and check the clutch, clutch master cylinder,& the slave clyinder in the transmission.
Hey Dan==It can be several things. first make sure it has fluid in the master cyl. If it is full, you probably need to have it checked out . GoodluckJoe clutch slave cylinder or clutch master, or brake master, all are not very expensive spring
