My 1300 C will start in Neutral but die when I shift it into gear. Yes the clutch is engaged and yes the kickstand is up. Based upon what I have been told, it may be the kickstand switch--loose or needs replaced. Can anyone advise where this is located and what it looks like? Thanks!

This sounds like the kick stand switch is bad or not making full contact.

3900ml, you should try some of the Castrol V-Twin oil, good stuff.

You have one of two things going on. (1) You need to check the kick stand switch, your bike thinks the kick stand is still down. It may have been loosened out of adjustment by vibration. If the kick stand switch is out of whack, it will restart as long as the clutch in pulled in. But as soon as you try to let out the clutch it will kill the engine, if it is in gear. (2) Next problem could be, you need to loosen up the clutch cable a little bit, The clutch control on the handle bar has a screw type of adjuster (clutch cable passes through it ), try loosening it till it's easy for you to move the bike without the engine shutting off. Hope it helps and comment if you need more clarification.
