The damn thing does not get out of first right when stopping at lights and stop signs, it idling horribly. I rebuilt the damn ignition myself, found the inside metal piece was bent and had shorted two of 4 wires, and got it to work a little just to notice my exhaust glows red A MINUTE AFTER STARTING THE BIKE! I am about done with this thing. It has 18 miles on it and I am about to just have them take it back and drop it off at their place. Not worth the time and effort at this point it seems. I got the one bike from these guys no one seems to know anything about. Just my damn luck. Spent more time working on it than riding and its fucking new.

The catalytic converter glowing red, combined with your ignition system problems, seems to indicate that unburned fuel is making its way to the converter. Fixing the ignition misfire should correct the catalytic converter problem.
As for the shifting problem, it appears that you need to adjust your clutch, preferably down at the engine clutch lever on the engine; doing it down there will preserve your adjustment range at the lever on the handle bar. Yours is not releasing enough when you pull in the clutch lever; this makes it hard to shift into neutral, since there is still a load on the transmission shift drum that you are trying to move with the shift lever. You can test and verify if this is the issue by pulling in the clutch lever at the handlebar, then reving the throttle - if the bike tries to move forward, the clutch is adjusted too tight and needs to be loosened.
