Why does motercycle runs grat wow its in neutralbut as soon as i put the kickstand up and put it in gear it immediately dies or it drives for a few feet and dies how do i i fix it if anyone can help please help ?

it sounds like the clutch is dragging,either it is not adjusted properly or the clutch friction or metal plates are warped and acting like wave washers.you should have about 2mm of free play at the end of the clutch lever when its not being pulled in.also too thick an oil in the engine in it like 20/50 it should be using 10w 40 semi synthetic oil.does it try to pull forwards with the clutch in slightly when you put it in gear ?

I'd deffinatly say that's the kickstand sensor if it's faulty the bike starts fine and revs but as soon as you go to drive it dies, the bike thinks the kickstand is still down look around the kickstand for wires when you find them disconnect em and try that

This is more of I have the same problem starts up good runs good in neutral but as soon as I pull cluc5h an shot into first or any gear it stalls out also wont start in any gear even with clutch pulled it dies every time. Put it to neutral an it atarya up runs but dies whenever I they to shift so please someone help i miss riding my bike 2004 Yamaha v star 650 classic

is the kickstand still down when you are doing this. Some bikes have a kickstand sensor and wont let it run when down.

Try checking the kickstand. It has a switch that will make it stall if either the kickstand isn't all the way up orig the switch is bad.

will the bike start while you have it in gear and hold in the clutch and "kickstand switch" up position.? can i get a four thumbs up if this gets you in the ball park. thanks.

hi...put kickstand up 1st befor putting in gear....as this how bigger hondas work its a safety thing so u carnt ride off with side stand down...but cuts engine if kickstand still down & then wont start as you in gear.....even if kickstand up wont start in gear!!...hope this helps

I wonder if maybe the kickstand switch is bad letting the bike think the kickstand is down. When you let out the clutch it shuts of the engine as if the kickstand is actually down.

Your kickstand switch is either broken or out of position. The bike kills the engine as a safety feature if it thinks the sidestand is down and the bike is put in gear while the engine is running.
