The most likely thing is a sticking clutch. With the ignition off, can you drop it into second gear and push it with the clutch pulled in? You say you put 'new petrol' in, so it sounds like it has been stored for a while. Clutches will often stick as the clutch plates have been under pressure for so long. Fully warm the engine before moving off until the plates free up.
And it looks like you probably mean VS1400 not VS400!
Many of the Suzuki's including Boulevard, Intruder and others have cut off switches in the kick stand. As long as the stand is down the engine will die when shifted into neutral.
Only thought Is the Kick stand switch Is a kickstand on or was there one ever on this bike? If the switch thinks the kickstand is down it will stall out as soon as you kick it into gear.
possibly.
some bikes will let you start with the stand down, as long as the clutch is in, same with it in gear.
some bikes wont let it start at all in gear, or with the stand down.
All suzukis usually work the same.
It is likely your kick stand interlock has failed. The interlock prevents riding with the kick stand down. If the switch doesn't close, the ignition is shut off. Check the operation of the switch by watching it as the stand is put up. If the stand is not pushing the switch button in, adjust the switch mounting. If the stand IS closing the switch, try to remove the switch connector, and short across the terminals in the connector with a paper clip to bypass the switch. If this works to keep the engine running, replace the switch. If you have more questions, please let me know.
