Rides fine - stop and switch off, then stalls in first!

[craynerd]

Hi guys

I`ve got hold of a ZXR400 and just changed the break pads, oil, oil filter, coolant and today it passed its MOT.

Not havin an MOT (and tax) until today, ive not rode it much but I did notice this a few nights ago.

You can ride the bike just fine - I`ve just been out for 30 minutes. Stopped at lights, stopped tones of times due to traffic and even chucked it in neutral when the lights went red on me so I can have a relax. No problems. Got home, drove on the drive, parked up and turned the engine OFF. Decided to ride it into the garage and EVERY TIME, no matter how careful I was with the clutch or how much throttle I gave it, it stalled in first setting off. The exact same happend the other night, rode fine, turned engine off, had a 30 minute stop with the engine off (!!) got back on it and it did the same stalling in first. I can only presume it has something to do with the bike being hot but why on earth is it only happening when I turn the engine fully off and back on and the same isn`t happening when I top and start or move from neutral????

I`m confused. Ay thoughts appreciated.

EDIT: Just thinking - it was a good 20 minute ride to the MOT centre - bike was standing for 45-60 minutes for the MOT but rode OK once started after - but that was 60 minutes, much longer than the two times it has happened.

It needs sorting though as I can`t ride it once I`ve turned the engine off!

Does the engine stop as soon as you click it into gear?......if so, the guys are spot on.....sidestand switch problem.....
