It is REAL unlikely that you seized the motor while riding home, and if you did you'd probably know. If you had a near dead battery and drove at low rpm's the bike might have drained the remaining juice from the battery stopping it from running and preventing it from starting again. Check your battery. -Evan Evan K,

Your problem might be just as simple as a toasted battery. It is REAL unlikely that you seized the motor while riding home, and if you did you’d probably know. If you had a near dead battery and drove at low rpm’s the bike might have drained the remaining juice from the battery stopping it from running and preventing it from starting again.

Check your battery.
