When i start the bike and shift to first with the clutch pulled in it moves forward on its own, also it is impossible to get it back into nuetral with the bike on. To get it back to nuetral i have to turn off the bike and shift then. Any ideas?
 
Have you adjusted your clutch cable at the lever and down by the engine? There are 2 adjustments. If the adjustments are all the way out and you can't pull it all the way in then its time for a new cable. If your cable is actuating all the way then you probably need to replace the clutch and look carefully for grooves in the clutch basket fingers.

Yes i have adjusted them both. Its probably the clutch basket it looks worn. Also when i rev it and let go of the gas it stays reving for seconds before it comes down. All it has is a pipe. Completely stock
 
That hanging Rev is a sign of a lean condition. Make sure you don't have an air leak.


If you don't:
Set the air screw at 1.5 turns out from lighy seated. Fine tune it from there.
 
Most of the time is a bike takes a long time to come down from a rev, it possibly has an air leak. Leak test it lol. Now the clutch issue I would adjust the clutch cable on the perch all the way in so there is no adjustment on it. Then adjust the clutch push rod with the Phillips screw inside the clutch basket. Then when the points are lined up correctly adjust the cable at the perch. That should get you in the right direction. If you think your basket is warn can we have a pic?
 
I have a small leak where the exhaust meets the motor. Can that be the reason it stays reving for a bit.

I believe i adjusted everything right. Ill redo everything again just to make sure. Another thing it does is it moves even if i dont have the gas pressed down. Also if im in second or first and let go of both the gas and clutch it doesnt stall. It will run until if slows then stals
