Same thing happened to my Buell, it was a dry clutch/ chain driven.. swapped out and adjusted the clutch cable.. and that didn't solve the problem. it turned out to be the internal adjustment + clutch discs. How does this translate to your bike.. well it could be a number of things and until you start toying with it you'll never know. The quicker you tackle problems like this, the less they wind up costing you. good luck on the fix/ give us an update please.
