Hey guys,

I own a 1990 mc22 still a learner & I've just noticed that after I stall my bike in 1st that i can't start it up agian with the clutch all the way in or out.
It really sucks when I stall it & I have a bunch cars behind me at a set of lights.

Could this possibly be a wire or electrical issue?

clutch switch. Check it and clean it or replace.

Mine's the same, I don't really worry about it though. I just pop it back to neutral.

My bike did that when i first got it, used to freak out with all these cars beeping behind me when i could barely ride.
New battery fixed that problem among others, i find that even with the clutch in when your in first theres more friction on the engine than if its in neutral, thus the half-fucked battery found it harder to spin her up again.

If the starter won't turn the engine over with the clutch in then it's the clutch switch.

my bike has a similar problem, bike idles fine in neutral, but if i click into first with the clutch in, it stalls after about 5 sec if its not warm.

Josh, let your bike warm up and you won't have that problem. The added load of the engaged gears is probably causing your bike to stall; your problem is unrelated I would say.

 

[joshtammi]

so i don't have to adjust my clutch or anything? because like you said, it doesn't stall when its warm.

How much free play do you have in your clutch?

It's probably worth downloading the maintenance guide at the bottom of the first post here if you haven't already: http://cbr250.com/forum/thread-425.html
That will tell you generally how to adjust some parts of your bike.

Thanks for the quick & helpful responses guys, Ill check the clutch switch and buy a new battery since my one needs a replacing anyway.

Ride hard & ride safe

If the engine wont turn at all when you in gear with the clutch in then yes its the clutch switch.
If like mine used to do, the bike cranks but wont quite catch when its in gear with the clutch in its prob your battery, or the bike is cold.

Thought Id clear that up.
