Lithium grease is too thick. You need to get it down the cable. They make a little kit thing to do this, but what works best for me, is to take the clutch cable off of the left handle, cut out a hole in a zip-lock bag large enough to stick the cable into the bag just a touch, then tape the bag there at that corner to seal the cable and bag together. I then spray silicone spray into the bag to make a pool around the cable and it will slowly seep down the cable. I'll usually just tape this whole bag/cable setup to the handgrip and let it seep all night. It will leak out the other end of the cable and make a mess, so I stuff a rag around the bottom side of it.
BUT... silicone spray isn't cheap, and an aftermarket replacement clutch cable is only $15. If you can move the clutch handle in and out very slowly and it's smooth, not jerky feeling... I wouldn't mess with doing any of this.
