Why does my motorbike keep cutting out when i put it in gear?

Fuel Problems

- Blocked fuel line: Check and clean the fuel lines to ensure a steady fuel supply.

- Dirty carburettor: Clean or replace the carburettor as needed to maintain proper fuel flow.

- Faulty fuel pump: Test the fuel pump to make sure it is functioning correctly and delivering enough fuel.

Air Intake Issues:

- Clogged air filter: A blocked air filter restricts airflow to the engine, causing problems with starting and running. Clean or replace the air filter regularly.

Spark Plug Issues:

- Faulty spark plug: Check the spark plug to ensure it is properly seated and generating sufficient spark.

Electrical Problems:

- Loose or corroded electrical connections: Inspect all electrical connections and terminals to ensure they are tight and free from corrosion.

- Malfunctioning ignition system: Verify the ignition system is working correctly by testing the spark plug wire and other ignition components.

Mechanical Issues:

- Low compression: Insufficient compression in the engine can lead to poor performance and stalling. Test the cylinder compression to ensure it meets the manufacturer's specifications.

Faulty Clutch:

- Glazed or worn clutch plates can slip and cause the bike to stall when attempting to accelerate or apply a load. Inspect and replace the clutch components if necessary.
