Clutch issue?

For info - bike is running fine, accelerates fine - no slippage, gears change fine.

That all said, the clutch feels odd. It feels like the lever isn't springing back fully, it feels "mushy" when I pull it in - it disengages ok - but, especially when engine hot, it just feels odd.

Not a lot of symptoms to work with, but any suggestions?

it's just an inner cable inside a outer cable - could oil the cable (might be feeling rough), could remove the infill panel on the LHS where you can see the clutch cable attach - maybe it needs cable adjustment? (should be able to see at what point of the lever pull the mechanism starts to move

I will check that out.
It is a new clutch cable - because I felt the issue coming on and thought it was the clutch cable. I didn't oil the cable though...just replace it.
