If I understand correctly, you took out the spark plugs and tried to rotate the engine using the rear wheel (presumably in 6th). I'm puzzled why the fuel didn't squirt out the spark plug hole.
This phenomenon (called 'hydrolock' from hydraulic lock) is fairly common on Kawasaki Concourses, caused by a combination of crappy petcock and leaky float valves, and has been known to cause bent rods.
