I am brand new to motorcycles and am teaching myself how to simply start and stop while i wait for my MSF class. I notice whenever i brake and come to a complete stop in first, the bike stalls. I then have to turn it back on, find neutral, and start it. Do i need to have the clutch pulled in when i stop? The bike works fine other than this, i get the feeling im probably not doing something right.
The bike is working fine, you need to pull the clutch in when you are going to stop.
Pull in clutch when u come to a stop. Hopefully for ur bike u knew that to switch gears u pull in clutch too.
The clutch disengages the engine from the transmission (same for a car or truck)
