Is it correctly routed for a start? does turning the bars change anything, i.e. does the cable go silly tight one way or another?
Is it correctly adjusted?
If all that's done...
Is the chain correctly adjusted and lubricated? Might sound strange but it does significantly improve gear changes, or in my experience since its been pointed out to me as soon as my gear changes go clunky the chain generally needs some lube and/or adjustment.

When was it last used? Might well just be a bit stiff. Give it a good ride, not a jolly to the shops and back.
A good blast, get the oil all hot and get the engine in full swing. Perhaps 20-30 miles or something like that.
Might loosen it up,
Good call sir Thumbs Up
