Engine cuts off

[Terry Richardson]

Hey guys, Blonde has a hick up. She cuts off right after I start her up in the morning when I put her in gear. The kick stand indicator is not on the display which whenever she has trash in the switch the indicator would show the stand down even when it was not. After a few minutes of idle and picking around she will suddenly go in gear and work fine. Now once I get her on the road she might for a split second or two have a complete power loss but then be fine the rest of the ride. Any ideas what it may be? She just started this last week but seems to be getting worse. At first it was just a hick-up power loss for a fraction of a second and then ran fine. Im pulling what few hairs are left on my head out. Any ideas? She is a 1987 Venture Royale. Thanks

Probably the switch at the kickstand needs to be cleaned up.???

Quite likely, that would be my first guess as well..........

I really think I would blame the kick stand switch. I know you have 2 replies so far, but I think I'm right, so first check out the kick stand switch.
