Loose clutch after Ducabike clear clutch cover install?

Clutch cover would have had no impact on the clutch. What you mean by loose something loose or clutch not engaging?
The clutch lever has some slop to it now. And is the clutch always suppose to spin? Even while in neutral?
 
It may have nothing to do with the ducabike clear clutch cover. Did you wind up changing the stock pressure plate to a Ducabike pressure plate? If you did and didnt insert your clutch plates in the same order and same fitment like they were then that may be an an issue. Regarding the clutch spinning. It still spins in neutral. If the clutch lever has some slop check the fluid levels. Maybe you dont have enough clutch fluid. Or the clutch fluid needs to be changed. I remember when I didnt change my clutch fluid in my bike for 2 years there was some slop.

My bike just had its first service last week. I think I did not tighten the pressure plate enough. The clutch wasn’t spinning in neutral at some point. I am going to take the cover off and do it again

That is probably the issue. Do you have the stock pressure plate with stock retaining ring? Or do you have the Ducabike or CNC Racing pressure plate and retaining ring?

I used to have the 1 piece Ducabike clear clutch cover like you have with a pressure plate and retaining ring. Then sold the pressure plate and retaining ring and installed the EVR CTS wet slipper clutch along 30mm clutch slave. After my accident 9-11-2020 even with my CNC Racing frame sliders the lower section under the clear clutch cover rubbed the road and got gauged. The CNC Racing frame sliders saved my case and motor. So I wound up replacing the 1 piece Ducabike clear clutch cover with the 2 piece clear clutch cover. It comes with a black back piece and a choice of a red, black, silver or gold outer ring. You can swap out the outer ring colors if you want. But if you go down and the outer ring at the bottom gets damaged. All you have to do is replace that outer ring. I believe it retails for like $85. For added protection you can add a protective slider. So if the bike goes down that slider is the first line of protection. And it retails for $44. The slider comes in different colors too. You cant add the slider to the 1 piece clear clutch cover.
