This one is a new one for me...An actual breakdown resulting in my friend with a pickup to bring the bike and me back home again this morning...lol.
I was just heading back home after going to the bank, was stopped at a signal light...When we finally got the green light and was going along through the intersection, I heard this sound no louder than an almost silent fart and it all died with the rear wheel locked up solid until i pulled in the clutch lever and everything would turn just fine, I could even pedal the bike to ride home if I had wished to do so, but it was not going to start or even attempt to when releasing the clutch, Just rear wheel lockup was all it was going to do.
Got it home, removed plug to see if it would turn then etc...no dice...lol.
So what would lock up and break inside the clutch, that the clutch and rear wheel would lock up so solid that it won't turn even with the spark plug out of it but will turn just fine with the clutch lever pulled in???
Looks like some parts will need to be ordered here...lol.
Ps...So far, I am thinking some sort of "soft seize" here.
