I have something that puzzles me. My bike will run after you drop it into gear with the kick stand down. But one thing I learned tonite puzzles me. I had to set the bike down on its side after I lost my fotting. After standing it back up it had drooped the bike into gear. Even when I pulled in the cllutch it would still not start. I either had to pull the kick stand up to get the starter to engage with it in gear or else put the bike in nuetral to get the starter to engage, what am I missing
