I setup my clutch today using the shop manual. When I tightened the “torque nut” on the side cover I could feel something move begind the cover. When I pulled he clutch there was a pop noise. (What could this pop have been and do I need to take the side cover off to investigate further?) I loosened everything and then readjusted using the steps and the clutch felt ok. Then I attached my shifter. I still haven’t put fluids in the bike yet from the rebuild. The shifter will not get out of neutral. Could that be the shift arm is set up incorrectly? No oil? Or could it be because the bike was stationary? I have a ton of questions because this my first build and I’m trying to trouble shoot on the fly.

Pull the shifter off and relocate the front arm so it points down instead of up.

You have the shift joint on the shaft upside down. The linkage section between the pedal and the joint that goes on the shift shaft should be horizontal, with both pivot points below the pedal and shift shaft. The clutch adjustment at the cable ends can exceed the limit of travel for the lifter arm and it's threaded design if too much slack is taken up at the cable ends instead of the adjustment screw (and nut) in the front sprocket cover. Somewhere on the site is a sticky for adjusting the clutch
