Default Bike wont start in gear

Ok my bike wont start in gear. it starts in neutral but if its not warmed up enough and i drop it into first it goes dead. i have to wait till it hits around 130 for it to not die when i drop it into first gear. any one know what the problem might be? i was thinking the clutch line but im not sure. any help will be greatly appreciated. thanks!

Could be your clutch is not adjusted correctly, or your oil needs a change maybe. I warm my bike up a bit 1st & pull the clutch in a few times to warm the plates.

Not being there to witness it ya gotta give more info. Does it seem to be an electrical problem or does it lunge and then die? Off the top of my head I'd say make sure carbs/throttle bodies are synched.
