Did you check fluid level ? If you can crank it and let it warm up and try it afterwards.

you can try to warm it up to see if it helps....change the fluids (brakes also), make sure the lines are bled good.

Put it in gear and rock it back and forth the clutch plates are probably stuck from sitting.

It's a well known fact that when the oil is cold, the plates stick together and it requires initial effort to move the bike while in gear. Give it another shot. Like someone said, try rocking the thing.

For the same reason, when I start the bike with the rear on the stand and in gear, you pull the clutch and the rear continues spinning. I extend my leg and with a foot try to stop the rear and it takes some effort. But once the bike is warm, no issues. So, if the problem disappears when the bike is warm, then it's just stickiness of the plates. If you have the same problem moving the bike when it's warm, then it would seem you have a real problem.

Let us know.

hopefully its just stuck....if you hear some noise shut ity off imediatly and inspect it..or better yet inspect it anyway

Aim for the fridge in the garage is what I do. Start the bike in 1st gear, clutch lever pulled in. If the bike does no move the instant the bike starts, then someone mentioned oil being the glue to the static push of the bike.

See, the crank and rear wheel broke the lock of the moving friction plates (crank side) and the rear wheel held the (steel plates) stationary.

Just the starter motor alone, would pulse the bike toward the BUD Lites being cooled on the door's shelf. You would not even need to have the bike start up. Just hit the starter in 1st gear. You would know right off if the plates are frozen together, or you need to protein up with the leg squats.
