bike starts fine, idles fine but when i put the bike in gear and release the clutch it stalls out. (yes the tank is full yes im giving it enough gas) im wondering if the lack of head light and tail light are tripping some kind of safety switch? just bought the bike and not very familiar with this model of h/d. any suggestions? much appreciated

The Duke of URL, gave a very good answer and is correct. I have an 08 Buell XB12 lightning, the XBs and CR were the last generation of Buells, the bikes are a blast to ride, though they do feel slightly different. This is pronounced when you first start to turn in, it is like the bike wants to stay upright more than others, but once in it tracks great. The problem is they are underpowered, even with the reworked Buell heads and exhaust that pig of a motor ruins what would be a great bike. Handling and brakes are superb. The Rotax motored CR model would be the bike to get, though repairing a Rotax motored bike may be tricky. Buells take getting used to when riding, but once you have it down they are nimble. The older Cyclone is heavier than the XBs, but still weighs much less than an HD and handles much better.

I don't know about your Buell. Jap bikes have a side stand safety switch. If the side stand is down when you let out the clutch in gear, the bike turns off. Check the switch by the side stand (if you have the switch). Could be damaged or unplugged.
As for the lights, the handle bar switch is probably unplugged if you've already checked the fuses.

Could be your generator shorting out and not providing spark.
