First off make sure it's adjusted right, like this:

Slacken off cable adjusters at top and bottom, loosen lifter locknut, back out screw a bit, ensure that lifter arm is as far down as it will go, gently turn screw in until it contacts pushrod back out a bit, (~1/8th of a turn), then nip up the locknut, roughly adjust cable with lower adjuster - not too tight - then with top adjuster ensure that there remains a little slack all the way from lock to lock.

If that fails to do anything useful, check that the lifter's working right and the ramps and balls aren't knackered, if not that then the cover's going to have to come off to examine the plates, clutch basket and hub, which could be warped or notched.
