Clutch drag
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.

Re: Clutch drag
So is the clutch actually dragging
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
