I have the FactoryPro spring that I'm going to try out and see if that helps, but I've heard that it makes the lever a bitch to shift. We shall see!
Your clutch-cable may not be releasing the clutch all the way. Do a push-test in neutral vs. clutch-in:

1. put bike in neutral and push it around
2. shift into 1st-gear, then squeeze clutch-lever and push

Is there any extra drag in case#2? If so, the clutch is dragging and messing up your shifts. Adjust lever for extra throw or tighten the cable (unscrew adjuster).
