ok guys, got to ride the bike again, first time since i bought it cause i was working alot and been raining here for about a week.... and i stalled it once cause of the clutch and stuff, anyone have any tips on when to let out the clutch and give gas... thanks or if anyone knows of any videos online that shows someones hands on the clutch while driving that would be cool, thanks

Try this.....with the bike running and sitting on it (both feet on the ground) in neutral on a flat surface......bring in the clutch and brake levers, put the bike in first gear. Let off the brake lever (you shouldn't move cause you should be on a flat surface), slowly let out the clutch lever, what you are looking for is the point at which the bike starts to move (this is the friction point) - at which point you would give the bike gas. But for practicing, once the bike starts to move, pull the clutch lever back in and apply the front brake. Repeat from beginning.

Practice this several times and you should start to get the hang of it. This is how we were taught in the bike course here.
