lately I've noticed that my 850 has started to feel really slugish. I know that the clutch is getting worn down close to needing replacement, but I'm wondering thinking it could be an o2 sensor. any ideas? thanks for the help.

What are some of the other symptoms? The clutch (I'm assuming it's a manual) shouldn't really have anything to do with it. Does the enginestart up hard, does the power loss feel like a flatspot (sluggish to rev up) or does the power just drop off? Your best bet would probably to take it too a shop and have them pull the fault codes for you. They'll most likely charge for this but sometimes the charge will go to repairs.
