Check adjustment & lubrication. Remember, your F4's cable is 10+ yrs old. May be time for a new one.

Unhook the cable at the clutch side and see if the issue is with the cable or if it moves freely. If the cable itself is not frayed or the outer sleeve worn through you might get away with running some simple lubrication down the cable.

since you also posted a thred that your throttle cbles have become stiff after you moved everythin gto a new set of dirt-style bars - I'm wondering if your cables don't have enough slack to operate properly.
