New cluth slippin

Hi just last season i replaced my clutch.
EBC springs and friktionplates (forgot the name)
I used the reinforced springs.
But its slipping when i do quick shifts and is only getting worse.
Are EBC complete and utter crap or whats going on?
I use Fuchs Silkolene Comp 4 10W-40 oil Btw.
I guess Its time for another clutch kit but what brand?
What should i do?
Best regards hemmek.

Before considering replacing the clutch I would use the instructions in the Kawasaki service Manual and carefully adjust the clutch. It could just be that the adjustment is not correct. Ed

^^ This. Also, one time I put a new clutch cable on, and I was wondering why it was kind of tight. I tried to adjust it all the way backed out, and still the clutch slipped at high rpm, I pull the clutch cable cover off, and the cable was caught up on the guide sleeve that it runs through before it connects to the little detent arm.
