Clutch slipping

i've noticed recently that the 748 has been getting a bit sluggish. the crunch came a couple of days ago, when i rode the bandit and the 748 back to back for the first time in ages and the duke felt slow

when going for an uphill overtake tonight, i noticed that the clutch is slipping and also a few minutes later when i gave it the berries on a dual carriageway - revving and bellowing away, but not much of an increase in forward motion. then when i got home i spotted that there is a bit of black dust around the frame and foot peg area (it's fitted with a standard clutch cover BTW)

this is effectively my first dry clutch bike (i had another 748 but it was stolen after only 3 weeks), so any advice, quick fixes or recommendations are much appreciated as always.

thanks.
