Stiff clutch pull?

What could make the clutch pull feel significantly stiffer?

 

I rode about 250 miles today and by the end of the day my forearm was on fire.  I've had clutch cables go bad before, but I don't think that's the problem this time.  I just lubed and adjusted the cable.  The cable moves freely, but the pull is still really stiff.

 

It a 2010 CBR600RR (new last June) and it only has 4,300 miles on it.

Assuming no work was done to your clutch plates and you put in fresh oil. No issues with the plates slipping the cable moving freely I'd say you just weren't used to it. When I put in a new cable I had the same issue but either I got used to it or it broke in.

For conditioning exercises, I'd recommend you switch hands when you fap it.

Under warranty?  Get it in and and at least on record that there's an issue, that way if something breaks shortly out of warranty, there will be a record of it and SHOULD make it easier to get it covered.  Unless it truly is that your hands have turned into girl hands...
