As above, stuck clutch plates.
They sometimes free off if you ride them a bit too. You'd need to paddle it along in neutral to get it rolling then select first and do clutchless changes. If they don't free off, you'd need to stall it when you stop or slip it into neutral just before you stop.
As said, if that fails, you just need to strip the clutch. Also as said, sometimes the friction plates can come apart when they free off, up to you if you want to risk it. It's a lot less risky in a 2-stroke because it just makes a mess of the gearbox oil where a 4-stroke would risk it carrying clutch plate material into the engine oilways. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink.

OFFS! I was waiting for that ask.
Really..... Technically.... as per OEM recommendation.
You need a non-car engine oil.
Specific motorbike engine oil is available from halfords. Some decent Motorfactors should sell the type too.
Car engine oil has added lubricants that 'can't fuk with friction materials.
1st Law of the Sea. If it can happen, it probably will happen.
It's easier to err on caution.
I only use Castrol Motorcycle/Motorbike Power 1 Racing 4 Stroke 4T 5W-40 Oil.
It's as dear AF, when compared to the chip-pan oil some folk use but my engines have come to no harm.

Transmission oil has sulfur added to help the metal parts maintain their surface quality under extreme shearing.
That create the unami smell of gear oil.
I might be what causes irritation.
Some oils have additives that can penetrate skin very quickly.
