Being an 03, I would make sure that the cable is running free inside and no damage is visible. Also add some cable lube and see if that helps.

replacing it would be a good idea, get your self a nice braided one, new cable will make a huge difference.

If after replacing it you still need a softer pull - www.clutchlite.de

Take it off and put it upright so the lube can work down the cable...And hit all the pivot points too
