    new development think the engine is siezed up tried to clutch start the bike and the rear wheel will not turn at all tried 1st 2nd and 3rd gears. it makes no sense a friend of mine said it may be because it is shaft driven that it cant be started that way. im at a loss can an engine sieze by just trying to start a bike???? i dont know how do i check this

    battery has 12.38 volts hit start button and drops to 8.43 and the bike basicly shorts out let go of start button and bike comes back to life and voltage on battery retuns to 11.98 and goes up from there back to 12.3 something. now i have checked all the fuses and traced most of the wiring no shorts on or rub throughs. the bike has 28,000 miles on it and i think it was sitting for awhile i dont think it is the battery i started there first and used charger on the battery it holds a solid charge i guess it could be a lot of things but i am leaning towards a short in a wire or its the starter. however i put direct power to the starter with the bike on and got nuthin i really think its the starter. i dont know i'm a diesel mech not a bike tech but i'm slowly learning. thanks for all the help
