    Broadly speaking it's normal. The wheel, when in gear, can turn but when you pull the clutch it should turn a lot slower.

    If you can stop it without the engine stalling that's ok! My tiger does it, handy for lubing the chain :D

    Hi Darryl, do you mean that the bike will creep forward when you are out on it, for example in first gear and with the clutch pulled in?

    IF that is the case then the clutch is not releasing as it should and needs at least adjusting to reduce any cable slackness.

    Hi Darryl, diagnosis of problems is a step by step process, so:

    1. Adjust the cable play at the clutch lever until there is no slack between the handlebar lever and the actuating lever on the clutch cover.

    Then check to see if the bike still creeps.

    If you run out of adjustment at the lever end i believe there is also an adjuster at the bottom end of the cable too
