Hi guys, I have a 05 predator 500, well here's my problem I don't think the motor is blown up. Cause I still have compression and it will still roll over but woulnt start the back tires are locked up, I have heard that their is like a keeper pin were the clutch basket goed and if that peice breaks it woulnt let the bike do anything, anything would help thanks.

positive by chance its not the rear caliper that has the wheels locked up? you might just have two sperate problems here

Ya... the only reason I know that is cause I don't have the rear caliper on.

at this point, i do not know enough about the pred trannys to know, but regardless, it sounds like it is going to have to come apart anyway....

Soo howabout, I was working on the bike and I was getting frustrated with it and thought It was in neutral, and yanked on the bike backwards as hard as I could... well the bike was in fifth gear and when I yanked god damn rear end came unlocked lol. Just to let you know I couldn't even push start the bike before. So I tried to push start it and it started the first try, next time ill get pissed off more often.

this happened to mine many times on my 06 predator troy lee edition, when i gets water in it. when i try to pull start it, the wheels lock , like if the pistons were compressed or like if there was some kind of compression that it wouldn't let it spin (i heard you need to take the sparkplug out to let air in), most of the time just pulling and pulling and jumping on it would work. but the last time i decided to clean the carb really good first, and it unlock faster, then i decided not to run thru deep water anymore.
