Ok, I am having trouble mastering coming to a complete stop and moving again without motor stalling out. I've got the idle set where it will continue to run when at a complete stop, but I haven't figured out how to get moving again without it dying on me. Tips????

Thanks,
Karen

By the way, thanks to everyone who helped me before. I've watched some more videos on youtube and now have the brake and clutch adjusted perfectly! Woot! Woot!

You need to use the clutch. When the bike is moving under about 10 MPH the clutch needs to be disengaged (handlebar lever squeezed)
As you approach a stop disengage the clutch when you speed drops under 10 MPH. When taking off from a stop pedal up to at least 10 MPH before engaging the clutch.
Your bike does not have an automatic transmission like your car or designed to take off from a dead stop using just the clutch and engine like a motorcycle. You need to pedal a little to get rolling again.
