click the shifter down 5 times, then click it a half of a click up. thats neutral.
Also if the engine hasnt been run for a while you should remove the spark plugs and squirt a generous amount of pennetrating oil down in each cylinder...ATF works great for this too being it has alot of detergents in it..By doing this you will free up the cylinders.

...The bike turns over if I take off the side cover and spin it with a ratchet....
Hope it's a 17mm ratchet.
Good Fortune!

pull the stator cover and see if it's touching the rotor.
if not, which one of us is going to tell him the bad news?
someday i will be able to afford my kz habit.
