2013 V-Star 650 engine stall at engaging gears

Im not completely sure on this as to if Yamaha ever had this but over the years Ive had bikes that had a level sensor so the bike can't be put in gear if the bike was leaned to far to one side. sort of a backup for the kick switch . Ive also had problems with the kick switch if the spring doesn't hold the kick all the way up . If the kick switch was malfunctioning would it even let the bike be started ? I would defiantly check that the switch is adjusted to make contact correctly when up. If you don't have a double kick then you'll need a friend to help with this to hold the bike up. Hope this helps a fellow rider
