It's not happening when I shift, it's nothing about a false neutral, I rode the bike for two months, i'm familiar with those. I'm losing the ability to shift at all, it's like once the bike warms up the clutch is stuck pulled like i'm holding the lever when i'm not and the clutch cable has been adjusted

Yes I am very familiar with the XJ650
I recommend valvoline motorcycle 10w40 for air heads. If you don't want to splurge for the motorcycle stuff, just the non-motorcycle version will work fine. (ask 10 people get 11 different answers kinda deal) If you don't have prime, then don't order from amazon.
I would go ahead and change it if you don't know whats already in there.
I would say that if you are very motivated and want to learn and have someone you could rely on to guide you through the work, then you could do it. If the guys at xjbikes aren't completely burnt out by now, then I'm sure that they would love to help guide you through the process.
I seem to remember someone was able to do the job without splitting the cases, but if you drop a part into the crankcase, you'll probably end up having to split them anyways...
EDIT: make sure you know how to bump start so you know you won't get stuck anywhere!
