Default 03 500 ho power loss? HELP

Just the other day i noticed my buggy seems to have lost some power. When im at the bottom of a hill and punch it, it seems to bog down and not have the power it used to. seems a little sluggish. any ideas?

does it seem sluggish on the flats as well? Thinking possibly the clutch not properly disengaging, or a stuck brake ?

if its bogging all the time is it the air filter clogging or maybe the carb dirty? then i would check the clutches.
