I just had a new clutch cable installed last week because mine was leaking. Drove it home from the shop and all was good. I tried to take off this morning from the garage and when I release the clutch the bike just stopped. Acted like a kickstand switch killed it but I don't see one. It did this 5 times in a row then finally allowed me to take off.
Once I was on the road it was fine until I stopped at a light. Tried to take off and same thing, died again. Very scary pulling out in traffic and the bike just die in front of a bunch of cars.
Turned around and headed home and it did it a few more times. I don't have to come to a complete stop for it to happen. When I slowed to turn into the driveway then released the clutch it happened again.
Any ideas?

 

Need more info...what model? what year? Engine?, etc.

 

Never run across what your describing but I will say this:
Clutch is a preference thing, I have never liked anyone's adjustment other than my own. Most techs adjust it for the novice rider. I adjust my clutch pak a tad more than a half turn, and a dime at the lever. I like a clutch that responds immediately upon release.

 

I can't offer any help to the OP but the obvious recommendation is to return to the person who installed the clutch cable.

I agree with both of your points. I like minimal play at the lever. A dime is good. I also like to feel the friction as soon as I release the lever. I don't want to release the lever three-quarters of the way before it engages.

 

Is the idle speed correct? Are you coming out of neutral (Engaging the transmission) when this happens?

 

Really stupid question...but will the bike turn on when it is in gear? As in, put it in when the bike is off...put it in first gear (not neutral), pull in the clutch and see if it will turn over.

 

yes, it will start in first

Have you checked all fuses and wiring to sensors? Any codes?
