You may need to adjust your clutch as it sounds like it's not releasing all the way. The way to test this is to put the transmission in low gear, pull the clutch lever in, and start the engine. If the bike tries to move forward, the clutch is not releasing all the way.
Follow the clutch cable down until you find the bellows type cover that protects the cable adjuster. Loosen the lock nut and turn the adjuster all the way in.
Now, take the derby cover off and you'll see a screw with a locknut on it. Loosen the locknut. Turn the screw inwards until you feel a resistance. Do not force the screw, simply turn it inwards until you feel the resistance. Then, back it off 1/2 turn and lock the lock nut down. Reinstall the derby cover.
Go back to the cable and adjust the cable adjuster outwards until you have about 1/8" freeplay at the lever. See if that helps,
Ride Safe.
