Angry 83 GS550 Clutch problems

Hi everyone. I have an 83 GS550 that I just got running (It had been sitting in some guy's bars for about three years), and I got everything to work except the clutch. It drives fine, but I can't get the bike in neutral when the engine's on, and the it's in gear it won't roll with the clutch pulled in. It's kind of a pain because you have to turn the engine off if you want to back it up. Help?
