I must WD often enough that it never dried out on me, I also have a couple of bottles of this stuff, but I haven't tried it out yet?

I think the teflon would be great for cables.

This is one I'd never thought about; the front master cylinder needs to be level for fluid, and the clutch perch should match up in the same plane.

On bicycles, where you can vary this angle, the plane of the lever and handlebar should be in the plane of your arm reaching down to grab it. You should be able to draw a straight line from shoulder to hand to bar to lever and hit everything. Like below. Otherwise, you're working your wrist around to try to grab the lever (too low), or flexing it back to reach it which gives you poor upper body support (too high):



+1 to new or lubed cable and mechanism as well.

Hello. Did this problem appear when you bought the bike? If yes, make sure the clutch lever orientation is correctly adjusted. When I bought my bike, it was too low (pointing to the ground) and it hurted a lot. I adjusted it a bit higher and now it's better.

Hey, this did it!  I was out today fiddling with the bike, noticed the clutch lever was pointed downward relative to the brake lever, so adjusted it up.  Reach is now better, shifts are smoother.

^^^^ When you fill the Front Brake Master Cylinder it should be level, once you screw the top back on it, draw that line down your arm and put it anywhere it needs to be.

For shame your bike has issues and he needs to get to a 12 step program ASAP LOLZ. I'd never make it as a junkie they stick me so much in the hospital I'm disgusted with needles and the pain they cause. Seven times in the Groin anyone? When I first got Flick I would get the cramping issues especially on the I-4 parking lot. I will occasionally get a flair up if I've been in the hospital a couple of weeks but other than that Imma girl and have very few probs with the clutch!
