Reply #3 - 05/14/09 at 13:55:07 Let me see, you changed the bars and now it dies. when you put in gear. Clutch interlock is only good for starting. Same with neutral. That leaves kickstand, it's only active in gear.

Reply #7 - 05/14/09 at 15:43:19 We all get a turn, but what a relief it is finding out it's something a simple as forgetting something simple. Beats the many alternatives of mechanical problems that could go wrong. I'll take a virtual slap on the head over a repair that'll cost me $$ anytime.

Tell him not to feel bad, most of us have probably done either the same thing, or something similar! Cheesy
