I am new owner and planning to do some off road stuff. I bought this little bike and it was running just fine but today when I started it the engine simply dies as soon as I put it in gear. It's not a question of being cold or low revs it almost seem to have no electrical power. It idles just fine and there's no problem when I pull the clutch in but as soon as I put the lever into any gear it dies.

Grateful for any tips or ideas.

Thanks

sounds like your side stand switch is stickin causing the bike to stall as soon as a gear is selected just a clean should do it.

Thank you - while it was not the switch itself it was the wires to it that are under the seat. All working just fine now.
