Bad News -- After many attempts the bike started for about 15 seconds, when all of a sudden i heard CLANK CLANK CLANK. So i shut the bike off and when i tried to start it again, nothing. Just a CLICK and it sounded like it was stuck and coming from the rear cylinder. I pulled the rear plug and tried to turn it by hand I am able to get it to TDC F but not TDC R. But it is turning. So i went to start it again and it made, what i think is a half turn and then STOP. Nothing.

Any thoughts? I haven't removed the valve covers and took a visual inspection just yet -- but my only thoughts could be that the timing is off and the piston is hitting the valves??
