While riding the other day i pulled in the clutch and i couldn't shift up or down. I still can't shift. Anyone have any clue what might cause this? It Shifted fine all last summer and i've had it out two times so far this season...if that helps

Pull apart the primary and remove the clutch / stator bell / primary chain as a unit. That will show you if it's the shifter and pawl (which is all outside the case) or the shift drum (which is inside the case).

Start there... Hopefully a shifter pawl spring got sprung, the shifter shaft got bent, the shifter drum pins walked out, or it is something else you can fix without splitting cases.
