Hello from Iowa!

[CDryder]

Hi everyone, I'm a 19 year old guy from Iowa who is mostly new to motorcycles. Right now I'm riding an rps hawk and looking forward to getting a csc tt250 in the next few weeks. I only just finished assembly of the hawk yesterday but it seems like a great bike so far.

As a new rider I do have a question:

I haven't adjusted the carburetor yet and the bike won't idle, so when I was riding I gave too little gas and accidentally killed the engine while in 1st or 2nd gear. This caused the rear wheel to seemingly lock up and caused me to slide a bit until I stopped on the gravel.

Is this normal for motorcycles when the engine dies in low gear? I wouldn't think it would happen if I was going faster in a higher gear, but it's not something I'd like to test out...
