Let the bike warm up well and ride it around a bit to warm up the fluids etc. If the bike hasn't been ridden for a while the clutch plates may be sticking.
If that works, then change the trans. fluid.
If this doesn't work look for grooves worn in the clutch basket fingers or a crimped or worm clutch cable. Also, make sure the cable is well lubed with WD40.
