Why does my bike die when I put it in first gear?

Why does my bike die when I put it in first gear?

The most common cause for a motorcycle engine to die when selecting first gear is a faulty side stand switch. If the motorcycle stalls with a jerk when put into gear, it may be due to the clutch plates binding together, a stretched clutch cable, a leaky master cylinder or a poorly tuned engine.

Why does my bike throttle when I die?

Rich bikes are getting too much gas, so they idle high but lose power when given initial throttle because they can’t burn all the gas. A key clue is that the issue gets better as the bike warms up. Extremely lean motors can also stall out completely when given some light throttle.

Why is my bike stalling?

A stall happens when there is insufficient power being fed from the engine to the rear wheel to get it moving or keep your bike rolling. Once you’re moving it’s all about balancing the usable revs of the engine with your bike’s speed, and remembering to pull in the clutch when you come to a stop!

Why does the motor cut off after I put it in gear?

Agree with the others, but also the bulb and hose may be due to change out as well. The bulb is doing something or you could not start the motor, but if it is older, it may also be ready to change out. Do it all at once. Yep, a dirty fuel system would be my guess too.

When does the engine cut off after warm maintenance?

Yea after the engine warms up is when I have problems. When its cold it starts without any issues. After its warmed up it will cut off, and then I can get it to come back on after a couple tries but as soon as I put it in gear it dies on me.

What should I do when I put my car in gear?
