Default locked up my engine...but it aint siezed

here is what i posted on kawasakimotorcycle.com:

I was going real slow on wet grass and grabbed to much front brake and layed it over on the right side at less than one mile per hour. I went to pick it right up and tried to start it and it as so0unding like it wants to start, meaning the starter hits, but it will not turn anything over. I have takin the left side cover off and tried to spin the crank via the crank nut, got nothing. I have tried to push the bike down a hill and dropped it into gear, nothing, (but I sorta ruined my tire) so i pulled the right side cover off and tried to turn the clutch hub and it WILL NOT BUDGE. It is almost like the something in side the engine had a high speed come-apart and little pieces got jammed between every gear in the tranny/clutch/crank. I Was about to split the cases tomorrow but after hearing that somebody else has the same problem, I may wait. I will definatly pull off the oil pan tomorow and see what I can find. I really do not want to split the cases, but if I do I might just put the 1000 cylinder head and crank in her.....

heres the site link

That just blows man....

Try to pull the plugs, then crank it over. See if that fixes it. Could be liquid locked.

Ok, so when i pulled the right side cover off the first time to take a peek, it did not look like there was anyhting wrong. But I got out and did it again today, and pulled the pressure plate off. I pulled the first two discs out, they were fine, but the next one was broken in 3 places, the next two plates were ok, but then the two after that were also destroyed and in multiple pieces. the last on look fine. so i freaked out and started to ask god why, but then i took a further look at the actual basket and in 4 places there are big pieces missing, but in such a way that i looks like the basket was built that way. so i gotta a flashlight out and took a look inside and there is a hunormus amount of alluminum stuck between the crankg gear and the clutch basket gear.....i do not konw what causes something like this to happen but it did, so now ive got to tear my engine down and clean it. looks like its time to put a barnett clutch in, throw on that 1000 head and jug, bolt in the 1000 crank and buy some megacycle cams.....whats the worst that could happen?...i beat a 636? good luck out there and thanks for all the help.
