This is what I do when I go for a ride...

-Start bike with choke on, no more than 4 or 5 kicks.
-Bike runs around 3-4k rpm for a min or so. I turn off choke after it will idle on it's own. Put on boots, jacket, helmet, etc. as bike warms up.
- I back out of garage with kick stand up, stop, pull clutch in & put into first. Bike dies.

If I give a little gas, it won't die but doesn't go in smooth.
It's almost like the clutch isn't disengaging all the way.

The thing I don't understand is everytime after this, I can put it in first gear while standing still all day long with no throttle & don't have any issues.
Thanks for the feedback.
