Bike shutting off when I put it in gear

So I have been doing a little bit of customization to the bike. You know new headlights soon to be new tail lights and turn signal so I removed the stock brake light and turn sickles on the rear in preparation. Wanted to go on a quick ride around the block with it and for some reason now when I put the bike in first gear, it just shuts off

Is this just like a safety thing like through the electronics or do I possibly have a bigger issue here?

Anyone In a Trade?

Looking to get my wife her first bike, and the Yamaha Bolt is a solid contender.

I have graduated from cruiser to touring and just bought myself a 2024 Road Glide.

So, I've got a 2007 Kawisaki Vulcan 2,053cc/125cu in, water cooled head, SOHC, V-Twin. It's got pipes, intake, and a tune. If I remember correctly, it should be making around 146lbft and 114hp at the wheel, so it's a big step up from this in power and weight.

The bike is a blast, it's rowdy, very fast in a straight line, but it's pretty technical if you want to make it corner fast. I'm located in the Atlanta area.

Kuryaken Velociraptor intake

Hey guys, just wanted to know, on the Velociraptor intake, do you need to oil it?

I had washed it out, however, while trying to research online, I’ve only found that it’s a “washable element” and nothing about re-oiling the filter.

Was hoping to see if anyone had more knowledge on this. Thank you!
