Clutch drag

Post by majesty320 »

Ive not been out much recently and have noticed that when the bike starts it runs ok with the with the stand up in neutral until I put it in gear then it cuts out. It will do this a few times but if I rev the engine hard as I put it in gear it eventually works. Its as if the clutch is dragging. Has anyone got any ideas as its driving me mad.

So is the clutch actually dragging :scratch:
If it is, adjust at the lever.

If it's not dragging it's possibly your side stand switch or the switch connectors, both can be taken apart & cleaned :thumb:
