Default Wheel Locked Up
Took bike out of storage tonight and the rear wheel lock up. I park on a slight incline and leave it in first gear. I got on the bike, engaged the clutch, shifted into neutral moved back about 1-2 feet and the rear wheel locked up. Started the bike and was able to put it in gear and move forward to original spot. Repeated the process again, this time got a little further and wheel locked again. Any ideas? I don't want to force it.

Is the wheel locked when the clutch lever is pulled in?

You don't have a rotor lock in it that you forgot to remove do you? I've seen that actually happen. Or perhaps something is on the floor blocking movement? Wierd for sure.

A wheel lock was the first thing that came to my mind. Maybe a wheel bearing, did it click or make any noise?

No rotor lock. The clutch was engaged the entire time that I tried to break it. There was a slight click.
