if you look down at the right hand side of the cam cover is there a small clear window in the top and as you turn engine over a marker appears in the window,if not just watch as you kick the bike over slowly the decompression cable should only move at the cylinder head as the bike is coming up on compression stroke as all it does is open the exhaust valve slightly making it easier to kick engine over

not sure if bandit ones are the same or not but i do know you will have trouble undoing the bolts in the head that clamp the pipes on,if you can get to them it will be worth giving t hem a clean up if you can and spray some penetrating oil on them a few times allowing it to soak in will give you a better chance of them coming undone instead of shearing off which is a common problem

i would change the cable first and see if that cures the problem as it could be frayed inside and catching and therefor not releasing fully,then if that doesnt work look at clutch itself

it will be a case of looking about and seeing what other bikes have got rear end you like and then buying and modifing to fit your bike or looking through m&p or bike it cataloges and seeing if they do anything

easy way to check carb rubbers is with engine ticking over spray some wd40 or carb cleaner around the inlet rubbers if the revs increase a fair amount chances are you will need to replace them,visual check is just have close up look for cracking or/and splitting of the rubber inlets
