Since I've had my bike I've had a slight problem on pull-away. This afternoon however it got a bit much.

Previously when I pull away the bike sometimes stalled and I though it is just me not giving enough gas or dropping the clutch to quick. This happens every now and then especially coming off the highway and then pulling off at the next stop. I'll open the throttle and she'll just stall.

This afternoon it took it to a whole new level. When pulling away I opened the throttle and I heard a kgggggggh sound, like forcing a car into gear and then the bike stalled. The bike was in gear. I've heard a similar sound before and sounded like a solenoid not closing.

Any advice?
