Why is the shifter on my 2005 yamaha yz85 stuck in fourth gear?
SOURCE: Stuck in first
You got it, bent shift fork. I think the manufacturers make them weak just to keep dealer service
departments in business. This is a pretty major repair.
A “very helpful” rating on this answer? Thanks!

Be sure the clutch lever is adjusted for 1/8" to1/4" free play at the outside end of the lever. If the oil is extremely dirty, the grit can cause the clutch to drag. Change the oil, ride for 30 minutes, then change the oil again to flush out the grit. The only other thing that normally messes up a clutch is using synthetic lubricants or oils with "Special" additives. They can swell the cork on the fiber friction plates causing the clutch to drag. Usually the plates need to be replaced when this happens. NEVER use synthetics in your bike. 10w40 motor oil is what should be in the engine. Please rate my answer. Thanks.

Synthetic motorcycle oil is a must. The book probably recommends 5w30. There is a ton of videos on youtube for your bike, including the oil change, some great tips. Check them out. It would take me hours to explain it. Hope this helps.
