engine dying at mommentary stops

[laura]

hi am new to this site&would be grateful if anyone could help me,bike starts fine but when i stop at junctions,traffic lights my engine dies on me,have had it at garage but they can not find the fault,oddly enough this problem only started after i had changed the spark plugs but they have said they are fine,having said that they have had it for over 2 months,am beginning to think they are two lads who have done up a couple of bikes now call themselves merchanics,any help would be much appreciated the bike is a honda CD125t 1982

Does it start hard? What RPM does the engine idle at? Does it run well otherwise?

Is it jsut when you have it in gear and are at a stop? If so I'd say your clutch is a little loose and dragging.

Quick, internet-inspired guess...... they turned the idle down a tick too much when performing their 'tune-up'.....

Try turning the idle up slightly and see if that cures the problem.

I know that this has happened to me as well. The problem for me was that I was leaving the Choke on or that I had my fuel setting to "Prime." Not all bikes have these setting so these may not apply. However if they do it might be something to check.
