I've just changed the fluids for both brake and clutch on my 1100 Evo but haven't had any problems. To be honest, my Evo engages first gear with a noticeable clunk and has done since day one.

Is there any actual noticeable drag - if you put it in gear with the engine off can you easily push it forward with the clutch disengaged?

I know your clutch is dry and mine's wet but I think the master and slave cylinders are the same. When you bled the system, did you just use the nipple on the slave cylinder or did you finish off with the nipple by the clutch lever itself? If you haven't already done so, try bleeding the system from the clutch lever and see if that makes any difference. The nipple is at the highest point and so is ideally placed to get rid of those last few stubborn bubbles.
