Assuming the shop replaced the plates and used new springs & screws, and you're using a cable thats in good shape and not kinking:

The pic above shows your clutch breakdown. See part #22?

The push rod can chip this part on its edge, thereby displaying the symptom you describe by not allowing the push lever to rotate back where it's supposed to.

When I did my YZ250 Clutch, I replaced the push rod and push lever. It's something you'll want to remove and inspect for a chip along its edge.
