A friend ran next to the bike and was able to get it started. I have no idea what he did, but it started then and ran fine. Any suggestions?

Okay, your friend bump started the bike, he ran next to it with it in gear, but the clutch in. He then let go of the clutch lever. This stretches the chain a bit.
Is it the engine turning over or the starter motor? You might have dirty spark plugs, a weak battery or maybe you just need a service. Find a nice hill, sit on the bike, let it build,d up a little speed, and hit first without pulling the clutch in. Then go to the bike shop and book a service.
