I totally get what you mean.
I just got my bike and have been practicing in parking lots and around the neighbourhood like crazy, but when i do a left turn into my street,
if i don't shift down and use the clutch, it will stall in the middle of the road -_-
do i shift down before the turn then hold the clutch?
The thing is when i hold the clutch in 1st, and try to complete the turn, i find it jerks forward so i just quickly shift to second.
REALLY don't want this to happen out on busy streets.
All help is so appreciated, as this site has helped alot.
Thanks.
