Stiff clutch lever

Stiff clutch lever
Now that my bike is running like a champ again, I have a new issue
The clutch lever is extremely stiff and hard to pull, although I'm assuming it's not the clutch lever itself. I have a clymber manual that talks about the process of replacing the clutch cable, but doesn't talk about adjustments to relax the cable/lever a bit.
I'm not sure if I need to replace the cable, lubricate it, or somehow adjust it. If there is an obvious solution, I would certainly be glad to hear it
Thanks guys!

Yeah; try lubing the cable. While you're at it, lube your speedo cable. I try to do mine at the same time so I know both are done. Disconnect the cable at the front wheel and slide the cable out. CLEAN it (kerosene; whatever), apply your favorite lube and re-install. May want to dab some grease on the speedo gear unit on the front axle while you're at it.
