Whoa! Before we all say "It's the clutch", I think a bit of further investigation is needed....
1. When the engine is running, does the bike try to jump forward when you put it into gear?
2. If you come to a stop, with the engine running and the bike in gear, does it try to creep forward?
3. With the engine OFF, the bike in neutral, is it hard to move it?
If it's Yes, Yes and No, it sounds like a clutch-related problem. If it's No, No and Yes, it's probably not.
