Just got my bike back from shop, rode it twice. It idles fine but when I try and shift to 1st gear, it stalls out. The kick stand is up, so that's not it...any suggestions? Thanks.

If you mean the switch under the kick stand, I greased it and it seems to be working. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

Fixed it. The wiring to the kick stand was disconnected at the upper end of wire. Thanks.
