Hello, I have a problem here I have a v star 1100 classic and I've recently gone through a lot of repairs , now I have a new problem. When I let out my clutch to ride in first gear my bike stalls out. Has anyone ever had this problem and can maybe direct me into the right direction I would be gratefully appreciative

Need a LOT more description.

This is what would happen if you'd never ridden a motorcycle or used a manual transmission before.

Hello Bobby and welcome to the forum. Check your sidestand safety switch.

Sidestand safety switch- yep.

Bike I've had kill the motor by sensing bike in gear with sidestand down. No clutch interaction. But those are just the bikes I've owned.

I'd forgotten about those. (The BMW has a big spring that pulls up the sidestand if you take a little weight off of it. Which is why I don't leave it on sidestand in public. Somebody messing with the bike even a little bit might have it roll over on its side for them.)

Did you give it gas when trying to let the clutch out?
