Check the position of the sidestand switch, or just disconnect the plug and jumper the contacts together to test.

Just put a new battery in and the bike starts great and runs great but when I put it into gear it dies (yes I am using the clutch). Tried to give it a little more gas before putting it into gear and it...

Okay.....I think you have a sidestand switch problem.
Do you notice that if you leave it in gear after it stalls....that even with the clutch in it won't crank the starter?
The sidestand switch is a plunger that presses in when the sidestand is down. The interlocks on the RS require that to start the bike...with the sidestand down, it must be in neutral. If you place it in gear which the sidestand down, it kills the ignition to prevent riding off and snagging the stand on the road etc..
So if you had the sidestand up before placing it in gear.....since the bike sat for a year...I suspect the plunger for your sidestand switch is stuck partially in (its been pushed in for a year!)
Find the switch down by the sidestand pivot....have someone hold the bike or support it so you can raise the stand, and spray some WD40 on the plunger and work it in and out letting it snap out several times then try it again.

I have a gpx600 1989 and my sidestand switch is

To lose the switches job, cut the 2 wires and twist them together, this will complete the circuit and the bike will think the kick stand is up, I did this, and do you know how many times I took off with the kick stand down??? Lots!! They make a kit that will fix this, it will start with the kickstand down, but kill the engine if it is put in gear.

Gear problems

now you would have to make sure your clutch is not faulty as if the bike slightly jump while putting it in first gear and cuts off , you most probably have a clutch problem .
this is what you have to try first :
start the bike on while depressing the clutch while in gear and see what happens .
if the bike keeps on running , tension the clutch .
if the bike stall , your clutch could be faulty or your oil could be too ,thick and needs changing .
try this first and let me know how you go

2001 Virago 250. Engine starts every time but cuts out when put into gear.Does not seem to be the clutch as it does not **** forward.

Some models have a 'kill switch' if the sidestand is still out. So the contact, telling the bike that the sidestand is it, might be damaged.

Bike runs in neutral but cuts out when a gear is selected.

Your sidestand switch kills the engine if the bike is put in gear with the sidestand down. If your stand is up and this is happening either the switch is broken or out of position. If it is broken you can twist the wires together until you can replace the switch. If it is just bent out of position you can bend it back carefully.

Starts fine. sounds fine but dies upon putting it in gear

Your kickstand switch is either broken or out of position. The bike kills the engine as a safety feature if it thinks the sidestand is down and the bike is put in gear while the engine is running.

1997 Yamaha FZR 600 cuts out when shift into first gear

Does the bike have a sidestand switch that cuts the power if the stand is left down? If it does, disconnect it and temporarily join the ends together and try starting....

Engine cuts out

your clutch is draging adjust the clutch cable so that when you are on the bike with the bike off and in gear and clutch pulled in you can move the bike freely that means the clutch is engaged
