Bike stalls when I go in to first Honda CG125

[Guest]

So I bought a bike that's been sat for 4 years and I got it to start on 4th kick and she idles decent considering but as soon as I pull the clutch in and kick down to 1st it stalls

Any ideas what this could be

It's. Honda CG 125 2001

Clutch would be my first guess. Is it actuating properly?

Also - be a lot easier to help with all these questions if you kept them in a single thread instead of starting a new one for every single issue

Side stand switch not working properly so it constantly thinks the side stand is down?

[Northern Biker]

Yep, side stand switch if it has one. Disconnect it and join the wires together to rule it out. Or maybe being stood so long the clutch plates are stuck together?

[RantMachine]

I think clutch plates is the current theory, but he hasn't posted since saying he was going to give that a look.

£5 says there was an ancient Sumerian sealed away inside the clutch cover and he's now searching the earth for the Necronomicon in a state of snarky undeath.

That makes total sense, good shout.

Bet he hadn't thought of that!

Does it cut out the instant you select first gear or does it falter and stall when you let out the clutch and try to pull away ? I reckon the clutch is stuck together.What happens if the back wheel is off the ground?

I've sorted it now, cleaned all the clutch plates adjusted clutch and it goes into 1st like normal now

Next job is cleaning the carb out and then finding the right jets for a pod filter

So did you find everyone's suggestions and advice useful or would you have figured it out for yourself ?

[Guest]

All suggestions were much appreciated. My first thought was sticking clutch due to length it had been stood but I also looked into kickstand switch but I haven't got one

[Northern Biker]

Glad it's sorted now mate.
