Completely lost

Everything has been running fine. No changes. This morning on way to work I went to take off from a stop in first and even with full throttle bike is barely moving. I tried putting in second but same thing. Engine running, reacting great - but even at screaming throttle very little power

Brakes aren't locked, it rolls easily downhill

I mean I have the throttle buried and have to push with feet to get it to move, it's crazy

Please help

Does the engine bog down like its trying to push the bike at all? If not I would think its some kind of clutch issue.

Sounds like clutch slipping to me. Did this come on suddenly, or have you noticed a gradual loss of power and high revving in high gears previously?

It was the clutch, I had noticed high revving in higher gears previously, but hadn't put it together faster. Thank you both
