Hi LM

Engine is not siezed, it will turn over fine on the rotor bolt. It will just not turn on the kickstart. ( I am kicking it the right way).
So looks like I will have to strip down. Can you split the crankcase without removal of barrel/ head?

Yep. Turn the thing upside-down and you can just take off the bottom cover. Don't forget the two studs in the 'valley'. The clutch and gear selector have to come off.

Put the trans in neutral to prove if the clutch is stuck. .......lm

Thanks LM,
I did put it in neutral but gear selection also seems difficult so I will check again when I take the clutch out.
