hi mate it is probably the starter clutch playing up, well known for going, this is behind the flywheel, it is probably starting to break up, if you go to gasgas direct your looking at approx £200, but you can buy them direct from ringspann, for approx £80, do a search on this forum and you will find the details, if not let me know.

^^^jj is right.You'll need to borrow or make(I did) a basic puller to remove the flywheel.The pissy little sprag clutch will be plain to see.It usually folds back on it's self then doesn't work due usually to a backfire(s) during cranking.Good luck in finding cost effective replacement.
Cheers

Sprag clutches seem to be a problem on many bikes including some Japs. Why they all struggle with them I have no idea - to keep weight down?
