Bike was running fine until I changed the plugs and oil. Fresh oil and filter, but everything back together, started right up, sounds good, I shift it into first and it dies immediately. Any idea whats going on?

 

i did the same exact thing. put your kick stand up lol

 

HAHAHA EXACTLY. I put it up or so I thought when I was backing it out. This morning I went out there and MADE sure it was up, and no problems. Thanks

 

So it was the sidestand?

 

Yep, I let it run for about 3 minutes making sure the oil made its way all over, made sure the stand was ALL the way up and I was off for my Sunday ride. Such a simple thing, who would have thunk!

 

It's always the kickstand. I think I've seen about 3 posts this week with this same problem.

 

+1 I've done it with my last bike while I was in traffic....it was a long ine so I put my kick stand down and when the light turn green and went to put it in first gear, it stalled and would crank over...that was a noobie mistake and extremly embrassing since about 50 cars was looking at me.
