Ok does it just cut out like it's being turned off or does it lunge forwards when you put it in gear and stall
If.it just cuts out the sidestand switch is faulty if it lunges the clutch is either badly adjusted or the clutch plates are stuck together.
can you get it out of gear? can you change gear does the clutch drag ( shifts are difficult ) the clutch plates are froze/ stuck together, remove clutch, check plates for rust clean soak in fresh oil replace any that are rusty..
does the clutch lever release "sharply" and snap back after engagement? then lean bike over drain about a quart of oil, take off access cover to clutch and check to see if you have any broken clutch springs. if thats looks o.k. you"ll probably need new clutch plates. a real quick check when you ride the bike smell the oil, does it smell burnt? if it does, the plates are probably no good.
