I have a 85 Honda Goldwing GL1200 Interstatate. I did a bunch of work in my basement, down 7 or 8 stairs, then used ratcheting tie-downs, the engine, and some muscle to get it up the stairs.
In the middle of the process, the bike got pretty hot, like 85% of the temp gauge, but into the red.
Then the battery quit turning the engine over and we had to muscle it up.
Now its up the stairs and the battery has sat on a tender all night and is testing with the multimeter at 12.9. When I attempt to crank the engine it drops to 8.5, but the engine won't turn over at all. The battery is new but it's one of those crappy ones you fill yourself.
I had given it all new oil and didn't let it run for more than a minute until I attempted the stairs (it was in my basement).
Could I have seized the engine?
