Bike doesn't idle when im not moving (in gear)

[S.PadreSurfer]

Right when i come to a stop when its in gear, the motor shuts off

is this normal?

Sounds like all you need to do is adjust your idle a bit higher.

But it can be advantageous to have your engine stop automatically. And when you don't want it to stop, then you just use a bit of throttle.

Turn the idle screw on the carb in until it idles.....It ain't
rocket science

Did you pull the clutch in?
If not, of course it will stall

 

[S.PadreSurfer]

well yes it does come in handy to be able to stop like that, BUT i have a nice little homemade killswitch rig and it works great, and i would like to be able to idle in gear, and burnout hehe

and im talking about when its engaged, like the clutch lever is not pulled.

I know you are only 15 but how would you expect the motor to
idle with the clutch not engaged?????

If ya wanna burnout ( your clutch) just rev the carp outa your engine
and dump the clutch with the front brake on......

Do you know how to drive a stick shift car?
or a motorcycle?

 

[S.PadreSurfer]

my age is irrelevant. And i didn't think it could either, but i saw it in videos, and just wanted to see if I had something setup incorrectly. But thanks anyhow.

Are you allowed to ride a MB in Texas at 15?

Does your mommy and daddy know what you are up to?

Let us know how the burnouts go....Rev that thing to about 7000
them drop ihe clutch as many times as you can......
Put the front wheel against something solid

Your neighbors have my sympathies

Without the sarcasm, the answer is that if you have a manual clutch, you must pull it in when you come to a stop or it will stall.

The rear wheel stopping will cause the chain to stop which, with the clutch engaged, will cause the engine ti stop.

The ones you see online idling probably run centrifugal clutches which operate automatically.

So yes, it's normal- happy MBing!
