Just so you don't confuse people (i am glad to see you clarified), when a clutch is engaged, that means the plates are pushed TOGETHER by the springs. That is what it takes to transmit power to the mainshaft in the transmission. (that all means you can go forward.) So yours will not entirely disengage. First, I would adjust the cable play. Make sure you have about an 1/8" of an inch of freeplay between the clutch handle and the perch it is attached to. If you still get too much drag, it is time to look inside at eht clutch for worn parts. A little bit of drag is usually felt. Slip them and burn them all you want. They sell plates in every catalog or online supplier for yzf's. Lots of people "clutch". I cant think of why I would do much of it on a 450, but I am fond of it one my 125's.
