They do make levers that have a bend in them to get closer to the bar.

BUT, the Savage/S40 has a fairly light pull for the size engine.   To do this Suzuki made it a long throw clutch.   That means, the distance from "starting to disengage" to "fully disengaged" is a longer that other bikes.  

My recommendation is to first adjust the clutch so that when releasing it, it starts to grab when the lever is about 1/2 inch from the grip.    I normally tell people to do it as 3/4 to 1 inch but you can go closer.   What will happen is that you'll get a bit more slop/looseness in the lever/cable when it's fully released.

If that doesn't help, then start to spend money.  Do the free stuff first.....

NOTE: for others,  if the adjustment is set to "grab"  further out than 1 inch, you might get some slipping in high gear and WOT, when the clutch plates start to get some mileage on them.
