Late answer, but...
It takes absolutely NO effort to bend the shift linkage in towards the engine case. As soon as the linkage goes U-shaped, the shifter is "frozen".
I snapped the stock pot metal shift linkage years ago, replaced it with a Datsun truck battery J-bolt cut to the right length, screwed into one rod end, welded into the other. Even a steel linkage will bend and lock everything up.
So, check the linkage, loosen up the clutch cable at the lever and see what happens. And check the oil level, overfilling will bind them up pretty good. If you see oil in the window with the bike on the kick stand it is overfilled.
