Kawasaki er5 dies when clutch is out

[fennyboy3]

I wonder if anyone can help me.

My ER5 was a non runner and I've since had it up and running and its been great. All except last night when I finished work at midnight to find it won't move.

What its doing. The engine starts fine and runs fine I put it into first gear and as soon as I let the clutch out a tiny bit it kills the engine. It doesn't matter if I rev it right up it just kills it.

Can anyone help please as my bike is stuck at work

Check the side stand switch. It might be gunked up and not releasing when you put the sidestand up, so it thinks it's still down.

Do you have to pull the clutch in to start it? If so check the switch on the clutch lever assembly
