Today was the day I actually performed this easy but rewarding maintenance.
Almost no grease found on the clutch fork & rod.
The rod was a little damaged, less then the one in the picture.
May I add that I also polished the other end of the rod.
That's the end that "pivots" in the slave cylinder piston.
For grease on the rod & fork I used a home cooked mixture of a never seeze compound & Molycote.
Needless to say the clutch is working very VERY smoothy now.
IMHO everyone should do this, I'm not sure how much grease Honda puts on during assembly.
And / or how long it lasts.

Make sure you replace your clutch fluid at a regular interval as well. I'm suffering from that now after the new clutch.
Had to replace the master and slave due to what i fugure was rust/contamination since the flud was in long enough to asorb too much water.

Interesting, i was wondering this last week sitting in traffic. Clutch all the way in, slightly pulled up and felt sticky/notch.
I guess i'll do it this weekend when i flush the fluid.
