ur probablyh landing w/o havong the clutch pulled in & its just hitting the ground in too low of a gear...doesnt really sound like a prob....try pulling the clutch in right after tyou hit the ground & it shouldnt sputter

that happened to me yesterday when I was on my way home from riding... I jumped some dudes drive way and landed and it sputtered and than picked itself back up. Than about 100 yards away I ran out of gas:rolleyes:
