Yeah, no kidding. People get seriously hurt when bikes lock up over jumps. I would be getting that thing running and placing it on Craigslist for sale (right after I paid for my insurance policy on the bike).That's scary. And they expect you to hop on and ride it like it never happened??? Ahhhh no thanks.
I was at Battlesburgh. I had some guys more mechanically inclined than me look at it afterwards. It was seized. That kickstarter wasn't moving. Admittedly we didn't push it too hard because I thought I would just do more damage. Could be what Lotts mentioned. I've never heard of that thougth. I was luckily going slow (not that I ever go fast). Didn't even get 1 lap around. 2nd gear nice and easy and it died immediately.What exactly happened when you thought it seized?

i thought I had the same problem, but I was pushing the kill switch, so then I pressed the start button and the KTM fired up. Fixed it.I will say my husband has a 13 Suzuki and a couple times his bike has got stuck on top dead center when trying to start it. It took him some time to get it unstuck. Not sure If this could be the case but could def give a feeling that it is seized.
Im not sure i understand? Is it broke?You can't fix stupid!
