With the motor off if you put it in 3rd gear and spin the tire, does the engine turn over? Pull the plugs to make it easier. If it does spin the motor have someone pull in the clutch. It should disengage the engine. If you have issues getting the bike in gear rotate the wheel while operating the shifter. If everything works as expected try it in all the gears to isolate the problem. You might have a bad gear/shift fork.
