The clutch plates may be stuck together, you might look at dis assembly and or replacing the clutch pack Have you tried the clutch adjustment link in the self help section?

As Jack says, the plates may be stuck. You may want to pull 'em to see what's going on.

Is it the clutch or is the tranny locked in 2 gears(it can happen) How did you get it in neutral to start it?

Put the bike in high gear and rock it back and forth and if possible push it a ways. That may break the sticking clutches apart. It worked on my Father-In-Laws when I had to get his running after he passed on.

Well,I tried every "trick" to pop it free.I gave up,pulled the primary cover and pulled out the discs.first 2 came out,the rest were totally frozen.Thanks for all your advice

Alot of times the primary case gets condensation inside and makes the clutch discs stick together. Best thing to do is replace them
