    The shifter on my XJ is locked I haven't been able to start the thing but I'm working on it. It's a 550 1982, and when I went to push the clutch out of neutral into first, it wouldn't budge...it's all locked and stuff and I can't get it to move. Just wondering what could be the cause of this problem.

    Well lets get some terms straight first. You push the gear shift out of neutral and not the clutch. So does the clutch lever not pull in or does the gear shift not move? If the bike is in neutral, does it roll freely? We need to determine if the clutch is sticking or if the tranny is not moving, or if the gear shifter is jammed.
