I have a 1986 kawasaki ninja 1000r, it starts and runs fine, goes into gear and will rev up with no problems but when i let the clutch out when it''s in gear it dies. any suggestions?

kick stand switch is only a make or break connection , so try joining them together temp' and see if ok ! any more info you got ??

I found this the best for my 88 FZR 1000. I would fill the reservoir and then open the bleeder valve at the clutch actuator.slowly pull in the clutch handle or the ensuing funnyness will not be my fault... A hose attached to the bleeder will help... But pull it all the way in, slowly and right as you are bottoming out close the bleeder valve. do this about 5 times, check your reservoir, do it another 5 times and check again. then this round you are actually going to pump the clutch handle 3 to 5 times holding it down on the last pump, then open the bleeder valve about 1/2 turn then close it, do this 5 times twice checking the reservoir during the procedure. if this doesn't help, you have other problems

see my tips on finding a manual on google

Hi, for the sympthoms described i'ts a electric problem on the switch . Check for corroded connectors and/or broken wiring.
Congatullations for having a real classic. I had a 600 ninja (also 1986) geat machines
Good luck

This sound like a fuel supply problem, perhaps the fuel tap is stuck. you could try it with the tap in the pri (prime) position, if this helps it may need a new fuel tap rebuild kit

restrict the air flow to the carbs it will not bog out

In the tachometer there is an integrated circuit that gives out of it 3 cables.The bike will not work without this IC plugged on the main clock's harness.
