[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1451468, member: 19880"] If it is truly seized up, the damage is probably already done. There is, however, a good chance that the issue is with the battery. I would probably try a boost with a known good battery. Just because it is on a tender doesn't mean the battery is still good - especially after a number of years. With the bike on the center stand, try shifting into gear while rotating the rear wheel... Clutch may be gummed up with old oil and the plates may not be releasing. If you can get the bike started, heat should fix that. For what it is worth, you are better off NOT starting the bike regularly if you aren't using it. If the bike doesn't get up to FULL operating temperature (including exhaust pipes and oil), condensation of moisture from the combustion byproducts will collect and cause damage over time. Good luck.
