I stopped at the stop sign and checked for cars, I had already downshifted into first, I was sure of that. The neutral light was not on. I slowly released the clutch and allowed the bike to accelerate slightly and started to pull the throttle just a bit. Well, for some reason the bike started to almost die! I made sure the clutch was fully released and yet my RPM's were only around the 1-2k margin. I even stalled out! I had no idea what had happened!
Sounds like shifting technique to me... What RPMs are you running as you let the clutch out and give 'er some throttle?
