let me be the first to suggest that you provide more information such as what bike, what mods, what maps/tuner. what changed.

Before you do anything, if plugs are not stock plugs, replace with stock plugs and wires. Clean and tighten battery cable ends and ride it. If issue still there: was fluid changed at clutch adjustment? Was correct fluid installed in primary. Yes clutch slippage can feel like a stumble from a stop.
