Well, after a call to the orginal bike owner, I found out my problem. It's been awhile sence I have owned a bike and it never dawned on me that having the kickstand down the bike won't go anywhere, what I dumb "O Ring" I was lol. My bike works so good and shines like a new dime.... Thanks ...

I have a 1997 kawasaki vulcan 1500 classic, and I just bought it, I am having the same problem sometimes. But when I shut it off and rest for a bit and restart it , problems gone. It will back fire and stall trying to pull away in gear. It seems like it's in a high gear. DO you have any ideas....
