Stalls when putting in first gear.

[loonggan]

Hey guys, my bike stalls when I shift it first gear in the morning, especially if its cold. Only way to get past this is to rev it a bit higher and put it in gear but there's a LOUD clunk if I do this.
Oil level seems fine. Any ideas would help thanks.

if you got a cable clutch try adjusting it it might be slack

kawasaki??

fast idle, blip revs a bit, and keep pumping the clutch.. pump hold pump hold ... do this for about 15 seconds.. and when you put in first gear she'll go fine.

alternatively, a barnett clutch fitted up will solve this altogether. it's not really a problem, more a quirk of a kawasaki.

All the Kawasaki's I've ridden have had clunky gearboxes. :S

I'll check the clutch cable when I get back and see.
