I mean really dies - if I hit 6-6,500 RPM it seems like someone put the kick stand down. Complete engine failure. The Gas dash light comes on and the RPM's die to 0. If I hit the clutch I can coast for a few seconds and then release and start back up. If I don't hit it soon enough I'm thrust forward and the rear tire locks up.
Where should I look first? I know it's not the kick stand.

Thanks ahead.
