- The clutch is not properly adjusted. The clutch is responsible for disengaging the engine from the transmission when you shift gears. If the clutch is not properly adjusted, it may not be disengaging completely, which can cause the engine to stall when you put it in gear.
- The clutch plates are worn out. The clutch plates are the components of the clutch that actually grip the flywheel and disengage the engine from the transmission. If the clutch plates are worn out, they may not be able to grip the flywheel properly, which can also cause the engine to stall when you put it in gear.
- The clutch springs are weak. The clutch springs are responsible for holding the clutch plates in place. If the clutch springs are weak, they may not be able to hold the clutch plates in place, which can also cause the engine to stall when you put it in gear.
- The oil level in the transmission is low. The transmission oil is responsible for lubricating the gears and other components of the transmission. If the oil level in the transmission is low, the gears may not be getting enough lubrication, which can cause them to grind and eventually fail. This can also cause the engine to stall when you put it in gear.
To troubleshoot this issue, you can try the following steps:
- Check the clutch adjustment. The clutch adjustment is typically specified in the motorcycle's owner's manual.
- Inspect the clutch plates. If the clutch plates are worn out, they will need to be replaced.
- Check the clutch springs. If the clutch springs are weak, they will need to be replaced.
- Check the oil level in the transmission. If the oil level is low, you will need to add the appropriate amount of oil.
If you are unable to resolve the issue by following these steps, you should take your motorcycle to a qualified mechanic.
