Motor will stop running when put in gear.

[Griz Leigh]

2000 Interstate trike will turn over and run normally in neutral but when put in 1st or 2nd gear the motor will stop running. This happened after I had to abort the road and went on to the shoulder for a bumpy stop. No damage to the undercarriage and no leaks. Any thoughts?

Trike "thinks" the kickstand is down. That will give your issue. The bumpy ride apparently damaged whatever arrangement was made to take the kickstand switch out of the system. Probably two wires connected in the area where the kickstand used to live.

Thanks guys, that was it the switch turned as if the kick stand was down. tie wrapped it back to up position
and runs like a like a dream.

Dealer would have replaced K/S 
Proper fix would be to wire so ECM thinks K/S is always UP-
Jumper the 2 Terminals & avoid future recurrence (matter of time until tie wrap falls and switch again becomes confused!)
