Z 400 dies at stop signs

If you shift into neutral before stopping rather than shifting into 1st and pulling in the clutch, can you stop without the engine dying? If so, your clutch could be dragging... If you put the rear wheel on a stand, and start the engine and put it in 1st gear and pull in the clutch, the rear wheel should stop in about one revolution -- it should not keep spinning.

If you don't turn the ignition off and on and just press the starter button after it stalls, what happens? Turning the engine off and on does prime the fuel pump. It also resets the vehicle-down sensor state...

If I put it in neutral or pull in clutch, it still dies.
If I try to start it w/o turning off first it turns over. Not sure if the pump cycles then. Was hard to hear.
Could I have mounted the tip over sensor wrong?
Is it under the left cowl?
Thanks for answering again Rich. I've got to run now. Will get back to you later.
Oh, last night I broke the fuel rail, so no testing for a while

What is this word mean--"stop"?




Seriously, I hope it's a quick and easy fix.

Good one. Thanks.

Thanks again Rich T. It was the tip over switch.
Runs strong again.
