Engine seized? What do I have to look forward to with this bike?

Rode The Sawmill to Chinle Road Today

I was out there today on a KX650 and, with everything dry as a bone, I had a blast. You wouldn't have recognized it. If there has been any precipitation at all, I usually stop at the gas station in...
