firstly check your oil level. if thats ok could be distorted plates. is it every time you let the clutch out in 1st? any noises from it?

first thing i would check is the operating part of the clutch. From lever to push rod including adjustment. Then if that doesn't work investigate the plates themselves

Somtimesone of the three bearings falls out of the clutch arm within the left hand case, worth a look.
