You have a '96 maybe? Was the battery weak? How long did you crank? Sounds like it could be the sprag, but that's not a whole lot of info to work with...

I just had this happened to me and the culprit was bad fuel. I had to replace the spark plugs and get the bad fuel out of the bike...after that I had no problems and things are back to normal.
