You could try oiling the cable - disconnect it from the lever and if you don't have a cable oiler, support it above the handlebar, make up a funnel with greaseproof paper taped to the cable, and let oil drip through overnight.

You could have a cable that's started to fray inside the sleeve. The cure for this is to relace the cable.

not long mate, just seperate remove the lugged end from the lever remove the left hand fairing and follow the clutch cable , then do the reverse to replace with the new one
