ok so i cleaned my carbs and got the bike started after sitting for 8 months its got like a knocking on clutch side

rough at idle but smooths out pretty good above 3k rpm

I NOTICED: it stops when i pull the clutch in

ALSO: i noticed that i put it in first with the clutch in it jumps like the clutch isnt in an it dies.

BUT: i can Put it in second and take off but first jumps and back tire spins

ANY IDEAS CLUTCH BASKET? WHAT WOULD MAKE IT KNOCK WHEN I LET THE CLUTCH OUT?

first you have to make sure where the noise comes from. get a long flat tip screwdriver and put it against the clutch cover while running and put your ear to the end of the screwdriver, will act like a stethoscope. move screwdriver to different parts of the motor and listen for the noise where it get loudest.

i had to replace the basket. if it is your clutch basket, take your clutch apart to where the basket is empty. with the basket empty try turning the basket by hand. it should not turn at all. if it turn it is bad.mine would turn back and forth about a 1/4 inch, not supposed to move at all. could be your problem, maybe its not. find out the area where the noise is loudest and go from there.

That sounds more like loose damper springs in the back of the primary gear.
I had to replace the clutch bearing on a mate's GS1100GK because it was shot. The basket had a fair bit of lateral wobble to it, but the damper springs were fine so there wasn't any rotational slack in it.
