i think the side stand thing is getting you? if the side stand switch is not working correctly it will die as soon as u hit any gear but it will let you start it in neutral. just elimnate it. i guess it could be your wiring to the switch as well if you just replaced the switch. check for continuety across the switch with the stand up and with it down just to make shure the switch is working.shiny side up, at least when I'm not doing a barrel roll

So it runs in gear, but dies when you let the clutch out?
Not switches then, problem with transmission.2000 Katana 600

it dies as soon as you hit a gear or it jumps and stalls ??
oh serry its jumping when u throw it in gear even when the clutch is in. it has nothing to do with the switches then. either your clutchs are sticking together or are in need of adjustment.shiny side up, at least when I'm not doing a barrel roll

Side stand switch, or you're just not letting it warm up long enough.90% of motorcycle forum members do not have a service manual for their bike.

im confused if the bike is running and your holding the clutch in and kick it in gear does the bike launch or die (all with the clutch lever pulled in)
if it dies side stand switch or wiring to it.
if it launches clutches sticking or in need of adjustment.shiny side up, at least when I'm not doing a barrel roll
