A few days I went through the bike tightening any loose bolts/nuts. The clutch lever was really loose so I tightened it. It operated fine for about 50 miles then it started jamming. I was having to physically push the lever out to re-engage the clutch. Luckily this happened only a few minutes from the house. Lesson learned! A little slack is not always a bad thing!!

Some waterproof grease on both the lever / perch / bolt and a little on the barrel end of the cable helps a bit too with longevity/smoothness,

Lube that cable too, it makes a big difference...
