what oil did you use? car oil? the friction modifiers in car oil can mess with how your clutch grabs, but thats usually over time.

it sounds like a shift fork may be broken. dealer time unless you have the time/space to take it apart

iv never heard of car oil hurting a clutch THAT fast, it usually takes alot of rideing and time before car oil will kill a clutch. more likely its a shifter fork. what gear is it stuck in?

if its stuck in first or reverse you can try adjusting the reverse cable. the reverse cable runs from the handlebars to the tranny. if ther isnt enough tention on it, or too much tention, it wont allow you to shift.

like i said before it sounds like a shifter fork in the tranny
