            think i have just blown the engine 
            
             i have just got in from work after pushing the damn thing 3 miles 
             the bike will start BUT as soon as i put it in gear it kills the engine and no movement, i am seriously pissed off and the AA wouldnt come out to help me |

             Check your side-stand switch (jammed in).

             not to try and upset you but i had the same thing on my WR450 and it ended up being the piston rings had gone. 
             Hope its not so drastic Cheers Jim |

             I read somewhere the side stand switch wiring can be disconnected and the wiring joined together. I have'nt tried it but it might help to definately rule out the stand switch.

            If it starts then you have not killed the engine, why wouldn't the AA come out ?, check your side stand switch
