It kinda sounds like an issue with a detent to me but you mention the clutch is new. Who put it in and were there any problems before?

Now we’re getting somewhere. Note the pics Gary sent, it may not seem like it but one part out of sequence can really jack things up.I just got the bike last fall. I know the clutch is new because I removed it. prior to the problem the clutch worked fine.
When you say locked up do you mean totally locked, just in gear and if rolling it forward let you get it back in Neutral are you saying you pulled in the clutch and rolled it forward or were you unable to roll it back but it rolled forward no issues? Does the clutch work normally, hard to pull? Can you get it back into first at all?
Sounds like the common denominator here is your clutch. You said it’s new and you know because you removed it. Did you remove it because things locked up? Did you put the new clutch in or did the PO because if someone else put the new clutch in there’s no guarantee they had it right so if you put it back in and something was off there would be no way to tell without following one of the above diagrams.when it locks, the wheel is what locks. it has done it with the engine running or off. after it wouldn't downshift the second time I tried to reposition in in my shop and it would not roll backwards with the clutch in and not running. it would only roll backwards after I removed the clutch.

If you look close at pic two the two legs on the spring are different. Should they be this way?? When the downshift problem first happened I pulled the clutch and the shift shaft looked just like it does in the pic, one leg of the spring is actually unde the lever possibly limiting the travel. The first time I put the spring leg where it was supposed to be and adjusted it. This time the spring leg is right back. I’m going to take the shift shaft out of the parts motor I bought and compare them. I’ll let you know tomorrow what I find.IIRC, the spring itself looks normal. The position of the shift shaft, however, does not look right and is not centered on the adjuster cam screw (pic 1). Do you have a wider shot of the assembled mechanism that includes the shift star, etc.?
