Now you know what things feel like when the adjustment is at both extremes. 15 MM of slack is at one extreme. You probably should adjust once more and shoot for about half that. I find it much easier to gauge the adjustment by the gap near the pivot point, right there by the cable connection and the adjustment knobs. Once you know what that looks like when you have ~7-8MM of slack, you won't need a ruler next time.
Now, what next? I think you should just ride it for a while. With the clutch plates properly adjusted, the situation might improve a bit over time.......7-10 days. During that time, try not to stress it. If you TRY to slip the clutch, it will.......even on a new bike (this model).
Don't know about what is normal at the other end of that cable but will look later, if I remember.
