Qlink XF200 Shifts Horribly

Alright, so I have been riding the bike quite a bit and it has been doing well, but today I was out riding and out of nowhere the engagement point of the clutch changed. Usually the clutch engages slowly and can be released with a good controlled feeling in the hand, but when I was out today it changed to a small amount of engagement then all of a sudden engages the full way.

So if I were to translate the engagement into numbers, 1 being disengaged and 10 being fully engaged, it used to go 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10, but now when I ride it goes 1-1-1-1-1-2-2-8-9-10 if that makes any sense. In order to take off from stoplights on my way home I had to do an awful lot of slipping to get the bike to take off without stalling, and the shifter is no longer a nice click. It feels more like I am forcing the shifter to do what I want.
