If it bothers you replace the seals etc in the clutch master cylinder. Doesn't cost much and makes a difference. Leave a day to do it and take your time. If it has too much freeplay try adjusting the pedal.

Hope that helps.

Soft clutch isn't always bad. Importantly, is the clutch slipping? There are HD clutch kits which feels a lot softer than stockie but offers more grip.  ;)

i got a slipping clutch lol. My bro broke the rear engine mount bracket and the only gear he could get was 3rd because the motor was sitting so low. SO he decided to drive 30km in 3rd in peak hour traffic.  :D  . little brothers hey.

If the clutch is engaging correctly and no slippage or crunching of the gears its fine. For good measure replace the clutch fluid and bleed the system as many people neglect to change the fluid and it does effect the performance of the clutch particularly when racing and giving it a hard time. Clutch and brake fluid should be changed every few years as it gets moisture in it and can cause blockages and rust in the lines.
