You never learned how to drive a manual transmission car, did you?

Yes, you have to have the clutch pulled in to stop while in gear. Man, I can’t wait for your MSF class!

The clutch disengages the engine from the transmission (same for a car or truck)

Yes, it will ALWAYS stall in first if you do not pull in the clutch.

So when you are down to first, kick it up to neutral, pull in the clutch, and put your left foot down. (You need the right for brakeing.)

Wait for the MSF course. You are slowly ruining your bike.

Good Luck…

The bike is working fine, you need to pull the clutch in when you are going to stop.
