It could be that the clutch is slipping, to adjust the clutch there is a screw and locknut which is on the right hand side of the engine if you are sat on the bike, slacken off the 10mm locknut and turn the adjusting screw firstly in the clockwise direction, to ensure there is no end pressure on the clutch pushrod.
Turn the adjusting screw anti-clockwise until pressure can be felt on the end. Turn back (clockwise) for approximately 1/8 of a turn.
Clutch adjustment should now be correct.
