Left the lights on the other day, after a jump I was riding home and the engine started revving really high uncontrollably so I hit the kill switch and pulled over. I now find that I can't get it into neutral and it won't start even after charging up the battery with my car again (Batttery had died by the time I got it home).
Any advice?

I'm not sure how it works on your bike, but most bikes wont start when not in neutral (or with the clutch disengaged).
The Ninja 650 also won't start if it's in gear and the kickstand is down, regardless of if the clutch is in or not!
ps. check your killswitch...
Broken clutch cable?
I was told it's not good to jump a bike battery with a car battery. My owners manual strictly forbids it. Does it really matter if you do?

Newer bikes it is not an issue.
Try gently rocking it back and fourth while trying to pop it into neutral.
This! The 650 can get locked up at times. Just rock it or walk it a bit and it will kick into gear
Also, please check out riderforums.com there is a VERY large 650r section.
