Superchicken stalling

A service wouldn't do any harm, check for exhaust leaks and set the idle when warmed up to approx 1,200rpm.

Give us some more info. When does it stall? What does it do when it stalls? Does it pop then stall? Does it stall only at idle? Or does it stall when cruising down the road or on hard on the throttle? Or when you wack the throttle open?

It usually stalls at red lights and sometimes when I engage the clutch to cruize to a redlight. Sometimes even just driving, but not usually. Mostly at idle. When I am hard on the throttle it's fine she loves going fast. No flat spots

What is your idle set at? Last time the carbs were Synchronized? Any work been done on the bike since the stalling started? Is there a carb back fire (carb fart) that goes along with the stalling?

Think of your bikes breathing like your own. If you wrap a dirty scarf across your mouth and try to jog around the block then if you struggle and pass out then that mimics a dirty filter.

If each one of your two lungs tries to breath out of time with the other, then you need to get them back breathing each breath in step with each other by synching the carbs.

If your resting breaths aren't getting sufficient, and you pass out while standing still then you need to breath at a faster rate - Raise your idle to 1200 - 1250 (edit :-)

A simple servicing of the bike should sort out of the problem. Search for and Download the PDF Honda VTR service manual.

It should pay for itself when you do the servicing yourself.
