possibly clutch-drag...
Good way to tell is ,with the ignition turned OFF,pull the clutch lever in and kick it over..If you can turn the top end over like this then the clutch is dragging..
It may be the plates are stuck together if the bike hasnt been used for a while..

I just posted a message with exact same problem with a bike that had been sitting for ~ 4 years. Should have read this first.

Did taking the clutch apart and re-assembling solve your problem?
