2004 RSV

I have bike in neutral, start bike, clutch is pulled in, when I shift into 1st gear bike quits!

If there is air in clutch line could that cause it????

or is it something else???

Is your Kickstand down when you put it into gear?

 

If "yes" then it is caused by the "protection" switch that prevents you from riding with the stand down and having an accident. If the answer is "no the stand is up" when it dies, then you might have a faulty kickstand switch and the bike might still think it is down if the switch is broken.
