I just purchased a 2007 Harley-Davidson Street Bob, and as I am a new rider, I occassionally stall the bike at stop signs, stop lights, etc. Will this permanantly damage my new ride?

It's gonna take a lot more than just stalling it out to damage that new Harley-Davidson...It may even out last you...Enjoy your new Street Bob and be careful...

First thing I would say is. If it's only happening when you first start the bike, then you have not taken the time to warm up the engine first before riding.
The min. time is 4 minutes before you take a ride. If this is an injected bike, it's running lean and you can fix it by installing a fuel pac by Vance & Hines or the Power Commander.
They can be purchased by you and installed at home in 1 hr.

You don't want to pop your clutch. That will damage your bike, if you do it enough. Just gas it up and let her rip. Or give the bike to a guy that can ride. I accept all free Harleys.

not at all it came with warranty !!! let the dealer checkout bike for routine service and your next step would be to figure out what the cause of this routine stalling is because if that continues you may be listing yourself as having the permanent damage. IT only takes that split sec. for accidents to happen!! Ride safely .

Nope, no permanent damage. But take the MSF (motorcycle safety foundation) course for experienced riders. You get to use your own bike & they teach you some GREAT, practical street techniques to get on your way to making good riding habits.
You could take the basic course, but that's for people w/no riding experience, want to get their license, etc.

Park the Hog and get a cheap used bike to learn to ride. When you discover the joy of dumping a bike while exploring what it can do, it would be better not to discover it on a 600 pound $25,000 machine.

No but your clutches are under unnecessary stress and that can not be good in the long run. Nice choice of a bike. Have fun

Stalling is not harmful and you will get used to riding it. You should take it out into the country and practice starting and stoppin.
