Have you recently adjusted the clutch pin at the primary cover? Sounds like something is not in the right place, like a clutch fork. I would refer to the factory service manual and assure all the visible clutch parts are where they should be.

In regards to the shift drum forks, if you get to tinkering, there is a warning in the 81 650 manual that says do not pull out the Shift Rod more than 40mm ---- the shift forks will fall to the bottom of the crankcase & you'll have a real job on your hands. :ohmy:

Be sure to clean the grunge off the shift shaft seals.

I would follow the advice posted above and hopefully correct positioning of the left hand side cover will fix the problem. If the shifter pedal is still limp then as martin suggested it might be a spring and you might need to dig a bit deeper. If you take off the left side cover and then the front sprocket you can get at the transmission cover (at least I think thats what its called. I had to take that cover off recently to check the output shaft bearing and luckily took a photo which you can see below,
You can identify the output shaft, the clutch pushrod and the gear shift pedal in the photo. See the mechanism which is moved by the shift pedal ? I circled the spring in red. I am honestly not sure if a broken spring here will cause a limp shifter pedal but it might be worth checking if you cant find a solution in the outer cover clutch mechanism

Is that spring accessible in the pic I posted above ? or is it inside the gearbox proper and accessible after removing the oil pan ?....... just in case I ever need to look for it
Thanks
