Update to my free seized VT750

Update to my free seized VT750

So an update. No it was definitely not hydro locked. After three days of atf in the cylinders, it was still locked tight as a drum. This morning, I vac pumped the atf out, and made a 50/50 atf acetone mixture. Put about a 1/4 qt in each cylinder. This afternoon I was able to get it to break loose. I still can't get 360° rotation, but I'm hopeful a few more days soaking with the cosmic sauce it will come around. I know the risk of the acetone eating seals, but it's screw it. Free bike. I'll update again in a couple days.

My neighbor just gave me a 2006 with a stuck motor. The bike has sat multiple seasons in a cold shed. It was a good running bike with only 7k. What are the chances it can be saved without a rebuild? Anyone had luck using mystery oil or atf to free up a stuck 750?​​​
