Same here, a few taps of the toe and it clickity-clunks from 4th to 1st 20-60 feet from the intersection stop light, that way I am ready for an emergency clutch dump stop if I get cut off or have to stop more quickly without locking up. Only needed to twice in 5 years. Anyway try changing your oil and filter, check your clutch hand and foot lever adjustment, and try easing up on any power shifting or braking for a while, also don't habitually use too much or too little lever pull when actuating the clutch as a consistent relaxed but confident hand is all it takes. A manual transmission has a tendency to continually wear to a riders handling, handle her rough and she will eventually nag you, handle her with firm confident fineness and she will last for years smoothly dancing and giggling through the gears.
