Make sure the clutch cable is good before buying alternate parts, a gunked up one can make the pull very hard. I'd also check that the adjustment in the primary and the one for cable free play are correct.

File this to your memory bank, the bigger the engine, the stronger the clutch diaphragm spring. There is an aftermarket clutch throw-out (release bearing) made in Germany, called the *** 7200B which is far superior than the stock one, plus it is actually designed for its job. This bearing made my clutch lever much smoother and easier to pull. There are videos on this, as well.

The new cable I bought for a 2008 bike had the inner plastic coated. Using something like 3-in-1 would be liable to gum that up. So as above it might need cleaning out and if you want to use a lubricant then something like triflow could be used.
