2008 VFR 800 stalls when i put into gear.

Does this mean the clutch needs to be bled? I just bough used w/ 3000 mi. on it. The level looks fine.

 

The bike will kill if the kickstand is down when you put the bike in gear.

Is your kickstand switch working properly?

 

Could be the clutch safety switch or the kickstand switch. Does the bike jump forward before it dies?? Also, does the bike die when you repeat the test with the bike on the centerstand or does the rear wheel progressively start spinning faster?

Those are good suggestions I'll check out. Come to think of it (and I'm embarassed to say it) I may have had stand down as I stopped to open garage door and then had stalls when I went to pull in. Duh!

 

Hehehehe this happen all the time with newbie Ride on mate.

 

and the other one is.....

Your bike won't start. Everyone is looking, the Harley guys are getting ready to comment. DOH the check the kill switch!

 

I wouldn't even be embarrased if I was a newbie! I've been riding for 40 years but never have had one of these new fangled machines! My last was a '87 VFR I sold three years ago.

 

I was mean about newbie to the bike and technology........This thing happen and you not alone.
Funny thing is people used computer every day...........This lady call IT and report her computer is dead.....I take a look at her screen and noticed the monitor is in sleep mode lol
