stall problem

I have a 1998 Superhawk. Over the past year or so, the bike just likes to click off. It doesn't seem like a fuel problem, but more like an electrical problem. It only happens when I am coming up to a light, to stop, & more recently it will click off when I am slowing down to go around a corner or something. It only happens when the clutch is engaged, which is a good thing! Any ideas what may cause this, or does anyone else have this problem?

Guys, have a look back over the posts in the maintainance section. There is an adjustment you can make to a couple of pipes at the carbs that might stop it stalling. Go to th top of the page, click on search, and put in "stalling" as the search word. I can't remember the details, but there was a picture of what to do posted also.

RQ,
That one relates to a stutter in the fuelling after hard braking.

This problem seems like the standard VTR idle-clunk-die problem.
Usually rectified by getting the carbs balanced and turning the idle speed up slightly

Idle - clunk - die

Like it Ben!!

I know I am just about to ruin my bike with a jinx by saying this, I have never ever had that problem! I can honestly say I can count on one hand the times mine has stalled, and it's generaly from me doing something stupid!

Thats coz the airs that much cleaner over there.
In the midlands we're struggling to get enough oxygen into the engine to burn at all

I was asking about this problem cos mine does it occasionally. My Honda Dealer said it was fairly normal so Im not too worried. Running a bit late on my 15000 mile service too so maybe my carbs need balancing.

But what causes it? Anyone know?

Got my dealer to sort this problem out at my 8K service. What they did was to alter the fuel/air mixture and balance the carbs. Not 100% cured, but way better than it was.
