I've never had to adjust a DOHC clutch yet, so I can't say much. But it's true, the bike will always roll free in neutral, but will have some drag when in gear and the lever pulled back. They're shouldnt be so much drag that it is difficult to hold the bike still, though. Engine running, flat ground, first gear, clutch pulled in you should be able to sit still without the bike moving forward or needing to hold the brake. If not, something is out of whack and needs adjusting. The FSM is your friend here.

The internal springs are what causes the clutch to hold itself engaged. If they are weak your clutch will slip. The opposite of what you have.
