A few months ago, I adjusted the clutch and throttle cables as they felt a bit loose for my liking and this improved the feel of the clutch but the issue was still there. A few weeks back I removed the cable entirely and inspected and lubed it with the tiny bit of leftover engine oil I had remaining. Both ends were in good condition and not frayed. I put it back to where it was when I adjusted it before and it feels fine.
I don't know what the lever hinge is, but if it is the gold / brass coloured circular thing with an arm coming off of it that the bottom of the clutch cable attaches to inside the sprocket cover, then that was a little bit dry feeling yes. I tried to lube it, but I couldn't remove it as the screws were seized. I got a bit of grease in behind as best I could and it was a little better but still a bit scratchy feeling and would need removing to do a proper job. I'm not sure that alone would be causing my issue though? It moves freely enough just feels dry.
