Sounds like the freeplay on your cable is too little and the clutch isn't totally disengaging. Easy adjustment. Up at your clutch perch, loosen up the lock ring on the cable adjuster and unscrew it all the way. Screw in the adjuster all the way until it bottoms. Clutch lever should be very sloppy now and will only pull the clutch arm (down on top of the case, left side, under the carbs) part way.

 

Pull the clutch lever in until you JUST start to feel the cable pull. Look at the front of the perch between the perch and the end of the lever. (Where the cable attaches to the lever) See that gap? That's what you wanna adjust. Release the clutch lever. Back the adjuster out until that gap is about the width of a nickel when you take up the "slack" with the lever. Finger tighten the lock ring and check the action of the clutch arm when you pull/release the clutch lever. If everything looks ok, fully tighten the lock ring, fire the bike up (put it in neutral in case something isn't right!) pull in the clutch and put it in gear. Shouldn't roll at all..

 

If you can, try a couple hard launches and hard acceleration through the gears to make sure the clutch is fully engaged. If it slips, you can try to add a little more freeplay at the clutch lever. Too much freeplay won't disengage the clutch fully, too little will not allow it to engage freely.

 

If your freeplay is too little even when the adjuster is all the way in, or you run out of adjuter screw length before the freeplay is correct, you may need to pull off the clutch cover, loosen the locknut and turn the center screw in or out to get more freeplay. (I forgot which way is which)

 

Good luck!
