Popping the Clutch
 

for some reason my bike keeps stalling and the battery is dead when i try to start. this happened on the way to work today. i have been told that i can pop the clutch, but i dont know how to do this. And is it possible to pop the clutch with a completely dead battery? can someone please let me know how to do this. thanks in advance.

thanks mga_oden, i was trying to pop it earlier by rolling in nuetral and shifting into 2nd without the clutch. didnt seem to work. i will give this a try here at lunch, god i hope it works, otherwise i have to take off my side covers and seat to jump the battery. thanks again.

Not sure if you got it yet but that happened to me a while back when i bought my bike and all i did was get a buddy to push the bike with me on it... I was in second with the clutch in and i got up to maybe 5-7 mph and popped the clutch and gave it gas, started right up...

I have had to do it before when my battery went dead.....id just push my bike somewhere like a hill or something i can roll down with some speed or get a buddy to push.....and then id be in 1st gear and just pop the clutch and give it some gas and it starts up....

thanks for all the advice and im sure it works....i think there is a bigger issue with my bike. when i tried to pop it i could hear the bike trying to start but it just wouldnt go no matter how many times i tried. i jumped it and when i would let off of the throttle, the bike would die. i had to ride home never letting off the throttle. i had to jump it 2 more times on the way. at one point all my gauges lights stopped working, signals, high beam, or nuetral indicators were not lighting up. i was also getting a small backfire, pretty constant but not very loud. i just rode the throttle and used my clutch all the way home. i have it on a charger right now and it tells me whether or not the battery is: charging, charged, or trouble. it lit up charging, so that leads me to believe there is some other problem other than the battery. the battery is only one month old. the bike also got hot coming home, i didnt know if that was cause i was holding the throttle for about 15 mins. i dont know what else to do with it. if you guys have any advice, please let me know. my dad has a buddy who works on bikes, i am going to talk to him tonight. thanks again.

If you test everything and still cant find the problem pull the stator cover and check for a burnt stator.
This is a pic of a blown stator from a 1000RR

How old is the battery? I'd start there. From what I've read it sounds like your stator and rectifier are o.k. and the battery is just fried. The bike doesn't put out a lot of power at idle so that's why it's dying. Once it starts putting out decent voltage (3500+ rpm) then you don't need the battery.
