So I just replaced my stator and rectifier on my motorcycle. I removed the left side crank case as needed. I put everything back together and now the bike won't move. I put it in first gear, it clicks and the gear indicator says it's in 1st. But no movement, its in neutral. It's the same for the 2nd gear, I'm assuming all the others too. Can anyone help me?

You would have likely had to take the shift lever off of its shaft/linkage in order to remove the stator cover. Did you notice anything strange when you put the shaft back on/ reassembled the linkage? I say linkage because I just looked up your bike and it appears that your shift lever attaches to a linkage which then attaches to the shift shaft. Is this what you have?
Possibly? but i still feel sturdy clicks when i shift fro 1st to second and neutral.
Yes i did take off the gear shift, but the "linkage" came with it...I unscrewed bolt 29 and 35 and pulled them both off, together.
I should note that the clutch is super hard to pull in, i messed with cable adjuster and locknut and still nothing. To me, it seems like the pushrod is possibly messed up. I have no idea if its going into the "hole" like its supposed to and i can move it in and out, and turn it with my hand. Is that normal??
Yes, it should move move in and out freely. About the only thing you can do to mess it up would be to purposely put it in on an angle, just line it up by eye and you should be good to go. Next you want to check that the large, round nylon fitting that engages that rod is moving freely. They can get gummed up over time and a good cleaning along with some fresh oil in there isn't that much effort. With the cover off, pull in the clutch lever to see that everything is moving as it should. You should be able to get the adjustment "close enough" with the cover off and do your final tweek up at the handlebars. After you put the cover back on you'll see a smaller cover on the outside cover with two screws holding it on, under there is a set screw that'll give you the proper amount of play before the nylon fitting engages the rod. Turn it in finger tight to contact the rod then about 1/2 a turn out. As mentioned, you can finish off your fine adjustment at the handlebars. My bet is there's nothing major going on, a little time and patience should get this resolved.
thank you so much. this fixed it!!!
