Pushed my Savage about two or three blocks when I was playing with jets and went too far.  I did a big "around the block" (about 5 miles) then went to do it again and spit ... sputter .... blah....  

Slightly up hill,  but only in the low 90's, but east coast humidity... yuk.

I've pushed about a mile from home.

I had a faulty petcock and was running Suzi in prime so I just ran out....
Didn't look into the tank until I had drained the battery Undecided

Earned some good experience points on that adventure.

Weather was early Spring so temp was mild but still in full gear.

No,.. not yet...  Haven't had time to check it out...
... and it's still so darn hot....
Logic is telling me it's the kickstand switch... I'll check that first...
I've dealt with 6 of these bikes,...  I've had three problems related to vacuum petcock, and two to the clutch switch cut-out, ... and now this...
Other than squeaks and rattle repairs (speedo, headlight, belt, front pulley nut), and fuel system clogs, from bikes sitting too long,... 100% of mechanical failures have been related to "safety" equipment...

I'm going to do some bypassing.... breakdowns do not equal safe... Huh...

yeah- the fact that it dies when you put in gear sounds like kill switch to me.

this is the time of year when you're jealous of PA weather (sunny, 82) , right?

I had to push mine up a steep grade, in cool weather, and I thought I was going to have a stroke.  Odd how heavy that bike can get; can't imagine pushing a V-twin.

Where are we going? And why are we in this handbasket?

Forrest:

They are a lot harder to push. Just getting my C50 in and out of the garage is takes more grunt.

UPDATE!....  The kickstand switch checked out okay,... but, it had lost contact at the connector (green 2-wire) under the seat...
Cleaned the contacts, and she's good to go... Wink...

Now, I just wish it would get below a 100' degrees... :'(...
Shouldn't complain though,... I see on the weather, it's darn hot a lot of places...
Stay cool everybody!... Smiley...
