Will not go into 1st without stalling unless engine is warmed up well

[Velociste]

Unless the engine has been running a little while the bike jumps and stalls every time i drop it into 1st. Possible reasons?

If the bike jumps forward, that's telling me the clutch is not properly adjusted.

Okay, where do I start? (pardon my ignorance). Thanks for help

Should i do it at the lever to start?
Why does it work when engines warm?

2. Mechanism adjustment
a. Screw in the cable adjuster (on the lever
holder) until tight.
b. Screw in the adjuster (push screw) until it
lightly seats against a clutch push rod.
c. Back the adjuster out l/4 turn and
tighten the lock nut.
d. Adjust the free play of clutch lever by
turning the cable adjuster.

The above is quoted from the service manual. Before you do that, loosen the clutch cable. I suggest you loosen it until the clutch handle is sloppy loose. Once you've done that, follow the instructions above. Sometimes it's a little tricky to get it just right.

Once that's done. Adjust the clutch cable so that you completely disengage the clutch when you squeeze the handle, making sure that it is fully engaged when you let go. (the cable should not have significant pressure pulling the handle when released)

I hope this gets it for you. BTW, the clutch adjuster is under the chrome button on the left engine side cover.
