shitty fuel filter. shitty fuel. air leak. carbs blocked etc etc. can be a pain to sort. start simple. clean yer plugs, run the bike for 10 mins then recheck the plugs. may give u a clue if the carbs are " dodgy"

I'd clean ur carbs lads, i had the same problem with my KLR and i had to really keep the revs up at the lights to stop it cutting out, even the choke cudn't keep it from spluttering out, cleaned the carbs and it was fine.
If it's broke spray it with WD40, if it's still broke spray it again and leave it over night, if it's still broke, bin it.
