Default bike dies when i put it is first

so i picked up a cbr 600f3 1996 from cl and it will idle and rev fine in neutral. the bike had been sitting for two years with gas i cleaned the carbs and no change but sometimes i can ride it but when i shift to second it will bog and die. both the clutch and side stand switches have been cut out and i cant figure out from were. any help would be great
ps ihave not rode for about 7 years and i'm really itching to go for a ride

What RPM is it idling at when it's just sitting with no throttle?

Turn Signals, Smern Signals. Use the ol' harley signals. Left arm out, left arm bent up. Got your left and right indicators right there.

go purchase a shop manual. it will have wire diagrams with wire color in the back of the book. i dont understand why people dont buy a full manual when they buy a vehicle.

I got a clymer for like $25. Full wiring diagram in it and definitely worth it. Are the blinkers led or bulb?
