I suspect you didn't take lessons from a qualified instructor,if you had you would have been taught how to pull away from a standing start. Here's a quick lesson,when pulling away from a standing start pull in the clutch,select first gear,gradually increase the rpm, let the clutch out slowly increasing the rpm as you continue to let out the clutch, once the clutch is fully engaged increase the rpm and get ready to change into second,because you are now moving you can change gear just by decreasing the rpm slightly, pull in the clutch change gear, this applies to all gears. When changing down it's the same procedure. PS don't be afraid to take the rpm into the higher ranges ,you need higher rpm as you change up.

Nothing is wrong with the bike like the first 2 goofs said. All you have to do is give it more throttle and slip the clutch a little more. Cuz if its happening more going uphill it would make sense. Your probably afraid of doing a wheelie or something. Trust me you have to try very hard to get that bike to wheelie. So don't be scared rev the engine to at least 2,500 rpm and slip the clutch and you will get used to it. And also if you feel the bike starting to die just pull the clutch in. And if you are on a hill give it a little more throttle. Go to about 3,500 rpm when on a hill.

1st of all, make sure the bike is idling around 900-1000 RPM after it is fully warmed up. Bikes typically need to idle higher then a car to make sure to keep enough oil pressure to the top end. If that is set correctly, then when you take off, don't be afraid to rev it to 2000-2500 RPM and slip the clutch until you get moving. Most bikes have a wet clutch, as opposed to a dry clutch like on a car, and so they act and feel differently.

Give it a little more throttle and slip the clutch more (longer).
Don't let the clutch out all at once. Wait until you get moving.
If the bike feels as if it's about to stall, pull in the clutch a little and give it more gas.

I remember those days! Hold the clutch in a bit longer...sort of halfway while you roll the throttle. It's hard to get going from a full stop on a hill, so if possible stay away from stop signs on hills until you get used to it. Practice, practice, practice!! On level ground, try this suggestion and just practice it until you are comfortable with this type of start.

Just like driving a standard shift car, you may need to give it more throttle and ease off the clutch a little bit slower. The more throttle and the faster you let off the clutch, the more disaster.

Its Normal ! your still learning . Notice what your doing when it does not stall out and try and do that every time ,yes give more gas and find a huge parking lot to stop and start in , But dont give up. beleive it or not it still happens to every one of us once in a while even though we been riding for years ,Hope to see you pull in to the next Bike event /Peace

Since you said you are new at this, I think it is because you are not giving it enough throttle when attempting to start out. This is typical for new riders out of fear of popping a wheelie. As long as you give it more gas and ease out on the clutch you should be fine.

Bring your rpms up higher before letting out the clutch. Let the clutch out smoothly and not all at once.

Idle is too low. Condider raising your idel speed from 600 to 1,000 RPM. If you dont have enough RPM it will stall
