Look online and get some basic knowledge how the engine, clutch and gearbox interact with the chain to the back wheel to provide drive.
The first very obvious thing, has the drive chain fell off!
Make sure the gear lever has clearance from the crankcase. I have seen a slightly bent lever cause what you are seeing. Get someone to rock the bike forward and back about 2" and push the gear lever down with your hand, NOT using the clutch. You should feel the selectors drop in. If they don't you will need to remove the crankcase cover and see if the selectors are bent or broken. Also check the clutch for correct operation.
Mechanical issue: clutch not disengaging completely...
engine off - put in gear and roll back and forth with clutch released does engine stop the bike from rolling? Now pull clutch lever in and try rolling again is clutch cable adjusted properly?
Electrical issue: bike thinks clutch is still engaged and kills motor when not in neutral
Is the clutch switch properly connected and working? Is it adjusted properly? Use a multimeter to read resistance across switch contacts does it change state when clutch is pulled in?
Clutch not engaging? If you have the bike in gear and engine not running...release the clutch you can still roll the bike? Can you feel proper tension on the clutch lever?
Try rolling the bike back and forth while trying to take it out of gear if this doesn't work ur clutch has brine burned out and ha s locked ur gears up but this one would be the last thing to check once u have tryed rolling it.
Surging is usually a fuel problem. To prove it, put the bike in one gear lower than the top gear. You didn't say what year or model bike you have. If it's a five speed, put the transmission in fourth gear. Do a full throttle roll-on acceleration with the transmission in that gear on a long uphill grade. If the engine RPM's climbs suddenly and drastically without the speed of the bike doing the same, it's a clutch slipping problem. More than likely, you are feeling the surge due to a lean fuel air mixture. This makes it very difficult to maintain a steady cruising speed in all gears.
