My 1500 will start in N, but then jerks and cuts off going into 1st gear. Was doing fine until now.

Sounds like you need a clutch adjustment

Clutch activation is hydraulic, having air in it will lessen travel of clutch when you squeeze the lever. Sounds like you need to check fluid level and maybe bleed it, and check for leaks. Could be a bad seal in slave cylinder too.

Also, look at a bushing replacement where lever pushes on push rod end. If never done, good chance it needs a new one.

I'd look for leakage, check level, and bleed first.

when I trike my 1500 I left the kick stand on it, one time I could start the wing but when I put into gear it would die. it was my kick stand was down just a little and the switch would not let it run. some times in a crowded I easy the kick stand down as a safety measure

Clever, when intended. But I just gotta know -- did you leave the kickstand on for that reason?

no I was going to remove the kickstand later, but after looking at it, I could see no problem with leaving it as is.

Try starting with clutch engaged in 1st gear. If it drags or tries to “creep” when trying to start you got a problem in your hydraulic clutch system. :wave4:

Thanks

Thanks everyone. The fluid was low and probably had air in it. I tried the "quick bleed method" by pumping the lever and then tying it down overnite. Worked.

If the fluid is low, look for a leak beneath. Probably internal slave cylinder leaking into crankcase.:Shrug:
