now it won't roll forward either ? Sounds like the gears may be jammed in the trans or something stuck in one of the pulleys.

Perhaps a sweatshirt or something of that nature got sucked on up into the rear or possibly forward pulley.... Has the sweatshirt incident happen to me many moons ago!

I like the disc lock theory, but didn't the OP say she could ride it? If it was that or a tranny locking up issue I don't think it would ride too far.

I think its time to take a trip to the dealer

Thanks!!
TBH, if you have to ask, you shouldn't be attempting this. HIGHLY recommend you take it to a shop. Not to be dismissive, but the entire thread seems to indicate you aren't very mechanically inclined/familiar with the bike, and with that taking certain actions put your (and possibly others) safety at risk.

What are you talking about?

Edit: Oh, I see. Never mind. I wouldn't get too upset about it. Didn't seem so bad...?
