Engine was working fine for awhile, stop using the bike for a couple of days, pedal and release the clutch and bike stops, and cant even pedal one bit. Tired to move the engine sprocket by hand with tool and cant even move it like i use to. Help???

Take off the clutch cover & see if you see anything wrong?

I did everything looks fine. Could it be the piston because it seems as if the piston is not even moving anymore?

Ok... with the clutch lever "out"; roll the bike forward & backward... see if it (engine) will break free?

Take the clutch apart, does the clutch shaft still spin? or is it in the crank/ piston?
You'll need a gear puller tool that comes in some kits!

You might have blown a main bearing...?
Take the cover off the other side too... do you see any sign of it?
