Would this make it lock up?maybe just maybe the oilbag took a dump into the crankcase.
pull plugs, jackup rear wheel put it in 5th,or 6th , and turn the wheel.
see if engine is locked up ..
Pretty unlikely from just sitting over the winter. Even with a full Cam chest of oil the starter should still turn it over.
Also you have a ridgeback oil tank is under the bike. If gravity starts feeding shit uphill we got some serious problems we are all fucked.

Not sure where the 35 mm is used on our bikes? Careful using metric on the bd.Damn
With the trans cover pulled i Can turn it over manually but not a full turn
I come just shy of a full turn back and forth
Spark plugs still pulled? It will take some force to get it up and onto the next stroke.Damn

It will spin fairly freely until you hit that one hump where you got one piston at the bottom of its travel and the next at the top. At that point you will have to give it a little extra oomph then it should go back to easy peezy again.
With spark plugs pulled there will still be a point with some resistance. It you don't have them pulled you would struggle to turn it over with just a wrench.

Nothing to brake. I can't remember what I use on that nut feel like I use a metric actually as it seemed to fit tighter than the SAE socket that is called for there.

The metric should be fine for cranking it but I wouldn't use it to apply torque.

I cant force it to turn BUT if i turn it as far as i Can backwards (opposit way from what the engine turns when running) the starter get enough momentum to crank it With the plugg out. With plugs in it cant crank
This lead me to look at comp release
Turn out they were not pressen down after all they just didnt pull down
Quz i had a blown fuse ( i have the PDM retro kit instead of stock EHC )
But now both My battery and i are both drained so i get to continue tomorrow.

Even without compression releases. Without plugs it should turn.
When the compression releases pull down or push down doesn't matter. The down position is just a split second them pops up. If you can stick yor finger in and it moves up and down freely that is good.
I'm still thinking its a battery issue....

Can you tell where the noise is coming from?? Seems loud but I don't know if that's the video quality?
That chain seems to be a little loose. 5/8" slack.
Readjust and try again.

What kind of noise? May want to check your chain tension.
