Hi. Sounds like a problem with the switch on the side stand. The bike will have a switch fitted to the side stand that will cut the motor if you try to select a gear while the side stand is down.. (Assuming you have put the stand up before trying to move off).
It is simply an open/close switch. If you do not have means to test the switch, you can replicate both ways and try it by 1st disconnecting the wires from the switch and separating them. If still the same, short the 2wires together and try it then. Remember though that this is a safety feature and should be rectified immediately.
Alternatively, it could be your clutch that is not adjusted up enough to fully disengage drive when fully in. This in effect will stall the bike as you try to select a gear.. This will be noticeable by the bike jumping to a stall when gear is selected as opposed to the motor just cutting out.
Hope this helps.
