It’s the same oil I had previously, 20w-50 full synthetic
It didn’t want to go into first gear when I first tried, I had to rock it a bit and then it finally went down

A battery that doesn't stay at 100% charged will give you trouble, and may even cause odd running problems.
I wouldn't run a 20W-50 - no need for it in a water cooled engine. Heavy oil moves heat away slower, and has no benefit unless you are on a Big Twin stuck in traffic.
Make sure the clutch cable is adjusted properly. They are also known to fray and stretch, which keeps changing the adjustment until it finally snaps.
