2007 yfz450. i was riding it today and it shut off when i was driving and it wouldnt crank over when i hit the start button, it was making a clicking noise, and sounded a little bit like it wanted to go more. i jacked up the back put it in first gear and i couldnt get the back tires to move more then 2 inches

 

maybe you need to charge your battery or buy a new one.

 

But wouldnt i be able to move the back wheels fully around while it was jacked up in gear

 

Doesn't sound good. Sounds like something mechanical in the engine or transmission. Have it checked out...

 

Thats what i plan on doing now.

Good luck man. I hope your riding again soon.[img]i/expressions/heart.gif[/img]

 

It sounds like the battery to me. If it's in 1st gear when you're trying to move the rear tires you're turning against the compression of the motor compounded by the low gearing of the bike. I'd be worried if it did turn easily.
