What would cause a suzuki 600 to die when you put it in gear?
I am assuming you mean the Suzuki GSXR600 motorcycle. ANY motorcycle whose engine dies when you engage first gear MOST PROBABLY has a CLUTCH problem. Have the clutch tightened. To check whether the clutch is CLEARING the gear, do the following: 1. With the engine turned off, hold the clutch and put the motorcycle in first gear. 2. While holding the clutch, push the motorbike forward. If the rear tire allows the motorcycle to move forward, the clutch is engaging properly and clearing the gear. If the motorcycle won't budge with the clutch engaged, the clutch is not engaging properly. If the clutch has been tightened and is too hard to engage, you might want to have a mechanic open the motorcycle and check the clutch discs- they might be worn out.
What is the term pull in the clutch on a motorcycle?
To pull in the clutch is to disengage the engine from the rear wheel of the bike by using the clutch lever. The lever is usually located on the left side of the handlebar, and is used when shifting gears, or performing maneuvers that require a great deal of control over the motorcycle. When you pull the clutch in, the engine will continue to run, however, there will be less or no power actually being fed to the rear wheel. I hope that answers your question!
Can you start your motorcycle up with out pulling in the clutch?
There are 2 ways, you can start a motorcycle. The best is to have the gear in neutral either after your last ride or before you press the starter button. Then all you have to do is turn the key, make sure the fuel tap is on and press the starter button to start the engine. Or if your motorcycle is in first gear already, squeeze the clutch handle in, to disengage the clutch and press the starter button. Only start to release the clutch, as you start to ride.

How does motorcycle oil differ from car oil?
Motorcycles use either a wet clutch or a dry clutch. The wet clutch is what necessitates the biggest difference in engine oils between cars and motorcycles. The reason is that a wet clutch sits in the same engine oil as the transmission and crank case, and most of the time, the crankcase and transmission is all one unit without any partitions. Typical car engine oils have friction modifiers in them, and these modifiers are a huge range of chemical compounds designed to help the oil do its thing. That's fine for a car or even a motorcycle with a dry clutch, but friction modifiers will ruin a wet clutch. So if you have to buy motorcycle oil, make sure to read the back label to see if it says its safe for wet clutches. If you're not sure if your bike uses a wet or dry clutch, you'll be safe either way buying an oil safe for wet clutches. Always consult your manual or dealer, though before pouring anything into your engine!
