It's a recon. Start with a new spark plug and clean or change the air filter.

Put it up on blocks and have your machine in neutral and try to turn front and back wheels, if they turn easily then that will eliminate that idea. If the brakes are siezed up it should stop as soon as you let off the throttle.
