06 fazer cuts out when put in gear

[raymajor]

hello ray here I  am 46 and currently riding a Honda cbr 125 r-d hopefully taking my part 2 in a few weeks,i have brought a fazer 600 from a friend in my village who has finished riding as he is now in his late 70's the bike is a 06 and has only covered 8,000 miles it starts and runs fine but when I put it in gear it stalls straight away but does try to move folward,just wondered how I test side stand switch and clutch switch bike has been stood for 2 years in a garage I pushed it home when I brought it only realizing this fault when I tried to ride it in the private grounds where we live any help would be great just don't want ripping off by a garage.

sounds like a side stand switch or the clutch switch. Does it start/turn over when in gear if the clutch is pulled in and the stand is up?

Clean up the side stand switch first with WD40 or similiar. It might just be sticking in after being stood for 2 years.

Sidestand does sound like a likely culprit. WD40, and push it a few times with a small screwdriver to ensure the WD penetrates
