As some of you are aware, I recently did a complete engine rebuild on my bike (DOHC) Things have taken time, but gone pretty smoothly up until now.

I am unable to roll the bike more than 6 inches -regardless of whether neutral is selected or the clutch is pulled in.
I lifted the rear tire of the ground and the bike starts up and runs, but dies when I try to ease the clutch out (even in neutral)
It is also hard to select gears (on or off) and I can only get it into 2 positions (neutral and 2nd, I believe)

I am worried that something didn't seat right when installing my trans...
Could someone with more experience give me some suggestions? Could this be an issue with the clutch?

Here is a shot of the gear-select assembly for reference:
