i do have the ball in there and with the bike off i can put it in gear pull the clutch in (i do have pressure now although im not sure its enough) and roll the bike. how ever when i start the bike pull the clutch in and kick it in to gear it stalls. what would cause this do i have enough pressure in the clutch or is it too little and the oil powered rod pushing the piston back in to the slave cylinder?
Make sure the side stand is up when you kick it into gear. If it was down the side stand switch killed the ignition as a built in safety feature. On the other hand, if the clutch plates are really stuck or you cannot get enough disengagement, an idling engine will stall and the bike will buck a little as the engine tries to move the bike forward. Try it again with the bike on the center stand (side stand up) and see if it spins the rear wheel. If it spins and the use of the rear brake stalls the engine then you will need to figure out which of the two issues you have. With the ignition off, the bike in gear and the clutch pulled in, rock the bike forward and back till it feels like it hit something and stops. This will nudge stuck plates loose. If this does not knock the plates loose then you need to make sure the clutch is properly bleed.

Did you rebuild the master by chance?

no i did not
my stupidity got the best of me and i did not put the kick stand up  :dash2:
i do however need a slave cup seal
When in doubt throttle out
