Question about venture royale???

I have a 1986 Yamaha Venture Royale. It runs great but when I put it in gear the engine dies. Anybody have a clue as to what might be wrong? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Update:

haha my husband has been working on this bike for awhile and I called him with your suggestion, they had figured out the exact same thing in the mean time, but you knew what you were talking about expert or not. My husband says thanks for the tip. Best answer is yours as soon as I can award it. THANKS>

    I'm no expert but I have seen this happen to a friends bike, and it took him a while to figure it out: As a safety device, when the kickstand is open and you put the bike in gear it dies. I dont know if this is your problem, since its a pretty basic thing and I dont know anything about your bike

    Source(s): good luck
