I have a 95 Vulcan. I had a leak somewhere and gas got in the air filter. I replaced the air filter and burned off the gas that had collected in the exhaust. After some work, I can get her idling but as soon as I put it in gear and release the clutch to go, it dies. What step to I need to take next? Please help!!!

 

Check your side stand switch. That exactly the behaviour that it's supposed to cause.

 

indeed, place a jumper on the two leads while disconnected from the side stand switch. (keeping the contacts away from metal) Welcome to KF

 

Thanks a lot guys! I unplugged the switch but it didn't work. But then I sprayed some WD 40 on the switch and plugged it back in and it worked great. Thanks again!

 

because you would have an open circuit.

Congrats on the fix on the bad connector.
