If the motor turns over, lay your bike on it's left side so you don't loose your oil.
Pull your clutch cover off and take a good look.
I think you will see the issue.

If the motor won't turn over at all.... then something really bad has probably happened  :cry:

Let us know.

If you take the cap off the stator cover you will see a nut that is connected to the crank. I believe it's a 14mm nut but I'm not 100% sure. Try giving that nut a turn, if it turns fairly easily then you know your motor isn't seized it it is most likely the kick start mechanism.
