Default lt 80 doesnt roll freely

I have a 2005 lt 80 and when I push it it is very hard to push I thought the brakes where sticking but they are not so I took off the pull start cover and it seems that the belt is stuck or the clutch is not free wheeling any help would be great thanks in advance

Welcome to the forums.
I'd start by removing the front sprocket (you can use a small screwdriver and carefully pry the clip off) and see if it rolls better. It may the chain.
If not, you're into the clutchs to see what's going on.

If it rolls with the chain off, it's the chain.
You use 80/90wt gear oil. It's slow going filling it.

The chain is fine Should the front sprocket turn freely with the chain off It does not it turns really hard And when I turn the engine over that small front sprocket turns I don't believe it should I think It should spin freely

OK. Your prolly right on that.
Welp, your into the clutchs to see what's wrong.
Look for flat washers in the front. Bad bearings/sliding face stuck on the rear.

You can look at a fiche there.
Remove all 4 footpeg bolts. Disconnect the plastic from the footpegs.
Lean it on the right side. Remove the rear tire.
Remove the bolts around the clutch cover AND the lil cover bolt at the 3 o'clock position
5mm allen and 8mm for the starter bolts and the pull start cover bolt.That'll get the clutch cover off.
17mm to get the clutchs off. You'll need a impact wrench for that.
