Stalling once hot, at idle?

It seems my bike will only occasionally stall. Basically if I've been riding for 2-3 hours, and I come to a stop and start idling, it might stall. Any ideas? It starts up fine and runs most of the time.

Carburetors do that sometimes when you been running hard and come to a stop. If it rarely happens its nothing to worry about.
One thing you might try is adjusting the idle slightly higher. You can also try a 1/4 to 1/2 turn out on the air screw.
Otherwise just ride it and have fun.

What bike are we talking about here , (year , model, engine size) , is this bike new to you ?? , was it at a different elevation before ?? , what elevation is it currently at ?? , do you know the size Jets are in it ?? , what have you tried as far as adjustments , and when did this start ,??? , did the bike sit over winter ?? , was old gas left in it over winter ?? , have you tried fresh gas ?? , what other symptoms are there and when did you notice them if there are other symptoms ??

All that info is pertinent to answering your questions .... :-k
