HYDRAULIC CLUTCH PROBLEM

I have bought myself a late-1980s Suzuki superbike as part of my collection. It is in beautiful condition with low mileage but it has a strange problem with the hydraulic clutch. When I start to ride, the clutch lever operates as normal and the clutch biting point is where you would expect. During the ride, it feels like the pressure is building in the system with the biting point moving forward, away from the bar, until there is no free play in the lever operation. I am afraid if I continue to ride like this, the clutch will start to slip and eventually wear out. What can the problem be?
