Are you trying to shift while the bike is running? Have it up on the center stand so the rear wheel can spin freely, and try to run it though the gears (letting the clutch out between gears). Is there any clutch drag? Put the bike into 1st gear, keep the clutch in, and see if the rear wheel spins on its own.
