I had a devil of a time not stalling the engine on this bike when I got mine in '07, and it really became obvious when I did my MSF (safety course) on a Kawasaki and didn't stall the engine once all weekend!
However, once I learned that all the clutch action happened as you're just barely squeezing the lever, and I started riding in a more, uh, "spirited" manner, that short lever throw became an advantage; in fact I rarely use the clutch at all anymore (at least for upshifting).
Your choice: give it more time to get used to it (may be hard with two other, close-to-the-grip bikes under your belt) or adjust as needed. Good luck! :thumbup:
