So this morning I decided to remove the “new” cable the previous owner
Installed and replaced with a new Honda cable.
The clutch is now smooth and pulls perfect.
Thanks Stu and everyone for your help!

Had a very similar issue with a new aftermarket throttle cable that was very stiff even after lube. Ended up snapping after a year. Replaced with a new OEM cable and the difference it made was so much smoother and better, felt like a different bike. Keep those cables OEM.

I took the bike for a ride today, and man does it feel like a whole new bike!
It’s shifts so smoothly, and I can find neutral immediately.
This is so great. I appreciate all the help on this forum from everybody.

I fully understand your feelings! ;)
That and smooth running engine from idle and up make it fun to ride.
