Worn clutch possibly, or maybe just needs adjusting if its cable operated.

Adjust the clutch cable. If you still have trouble with it then it's time for a new one.

Have you had a recent oil change?

If so may be the cause. Happened to me once. Put too much oil in and after a ride couldn't get into neutral. Another oil change with the right amount of fluid (it's in the manual after all) and it was sorted.

HTH Thumbs Up

Normally if the chain is too tight it does that. Check the chain tension. Thumbs Up

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.
