Bike stops when put into gear? Won't roll foward or back?

[crystalball]

got up this morning have not started bike for over a week. now took off my grip lock on break lever. then went to roll bike back but would not move forward or back? started up sounded good but into gear it would just stop running. breaks are not staying on and no objects under wheels. gear leaver looks o.k and moves o.k got me puzzeld. last time i used the bike and parked it up it was fine.

Does it stay on with the clutch on?
Is it more of a stall or does it just stop, like stand down cut off?

no if i hold clutch in or out and put into gear it just cuts out, no stall. also wheels don't wont to roll foward or back with motor off.

does it have a stand down cut off switch?
also what gear does it say it's in?

What is a grip lock? Is that like a brake lever lock that keeps the front brakes on? Perhaps the brakes have siezed on if they have been held on for a week?

You had your grip lock on the brake .. have the brakes got stuck on?

[MSTRS:Me]

Seized brakes won't make the engine cutout. My pick is the bike is in gear, which is why it won't roll, coupled with a faulty sidestand switch, which is why the engine cuts out.

breaks are o.k as break lights only shine bright when i put break on.

bike shows neutral light is on when not in gear also only cut off when put into gear.

I would say that the bike is still in gear.

o.k but i tried to accelerate forward in gear but no movement like break is on.

The clutch has locked up when it's been engaged and sitting for a long time. There's a real easy way of disengaging it but it's a bit rough. If you're not keen on roughness, look away now.

Get the bike in neutral and running. Pull the clutch lever in and release it a few times with the bike running and the engine oil good and hot (running a long time). Then, with the front AND rear brakes firmly (and I mean real firmly) on, knock the bike into gear with the clutch lever in (disengaged). The hot oil will help to free it but you may have to perform this a couple of times with quite a high rev level to free the clutch. It sounds particularly nasty when the bike crunchs into gear but it should free up after a couple of times and Bob' your uncle.

Let me get this straight...
You use a clamp of some sort to hold the front brake on when parked up? You remove this, start the bike, click it into gear, the engine cuts out and the bike won't freely roll?
Try these actions - in neutral, pivot the bike on it's sidestand to lift the wheel you use the brake clamp off the ground. Does the wheel spin freely? No? Then that brake is seized on and it might take a bit of brute force to break the seal of the pads against the disc. If the wheel does spin ok, then your rolling problem is because the bike is in gear.
With the engine going, raise the sidestand before putting into gear. Still cuts out? Then you have a faulty killswitch on the side stand OR seized clutch plates like Jimmy says.
