ok so the bike was shipped about 2500 miles on its side. i have tried to put it into first and it kills the bike. any suggestions??? thanks for the help.

 

Kickstand shouldn't be down.

 

is there a switch in there that kills it if it is down

 

I'll give you one guess...

 

ha ha thanks man when i get my battery charged up i will check i out. thanks again

 

lol (sarcastically speaking) no it doesnt, he just likes to throw it out there to mess w/ new ppl :P

lol yes it does and its one of the top newb things that everyone is guilty of ...including myself

 

yes that is correct i do feel pretty stupid

 

FWIW; I've been street riding for about 10 years and still leave the sidestand down from time to time. I'll shift into first and....well, you already know what happens.

 

i used to ride when i was about 20 to 21 but got in a pretty bad accident. i had a 96 cbr 600 f3. i am now 26 and just got a 06 cbr 600rr. i cant remeber back that far on little stuff like that. and the bike is not rideable and not currently at my house. so i dont spend a whole lot of time with it. it makes me pretty sad

 

Just one suggestion....
