Does the engine speed up, but the bike goes nowhere? If the clutch is slipping, it could be one of two things: a spring has broken, or the shoes have glazed over. If you have been cruising around at part throttle, that can happen. Pull off the clutch housing, and give a very light sanding to the clutch pads and the inside of the bell.
