Looks like a 600SS in the pic,so it will be a wet clutch.If you are going to inspect it,you will need to drain the oil first.
Another cause could simply be air in the system.Try bleeding it with fresh fluid.

My 750ss had a wet clutch and I have to say gave no problems, the operating mechanism is entirely different on the wet clutch models so Keith could be right about the plates jamming in the basket, could be that the plain plates have worn the clutch centre as well ?
