1983 honda shadow 500 sometimes stalls after waiting at a light on throttle up sometimes just bogs down. keeping REVs up seems to help. Hard to start after stalling, then runs fine. Bike runs great all other times.

SOURCE: bike bogs for second then revs when throttling
Pull the slide out of the carb then remove the jet needle and move the clip one notch lower on the needle.
SOURCE: motor bogs when you give it gas
It is a fuel problem, it can be filter or rubber membrane,they are placed in the valve for fuel.

There is a proper way to start the engine. Four controls are on your bike to assist in starting.
Don't kick, instead, push the kick lever downward. You will feel the back pressure as the piston is going upward on the compression stroke to the point the pressure is great enough that the kick lever "locks up". You are very close to TDC. NOW, pull in the de-compression lever. Push the kick lever a little bit more to get the piston past TDC. Now release the de-compression lever. Give the throttle a 1/4 turn then let it snap closed. A diaphragm in the carb gives a shot of gas when this is done. DO NOT do this multiple times because you will flood the engine. Leave the throttle closed when kicking. A flooded engine will often backfire. Now give a strong kick through the full sweep of the kick start lever. Quickly get your foot off the kick lever at the end of the kick to avoid any chance of "kickback" from the kick lever. This happens in the case of a misfire, aka > backfire. It can be very painful, and can even break a leg. I am serious about that. Repeat the process (but without the throttle priming), until the bike starts. A good battery, a clean spark plug, a clean carb and clean air filter will also aid in starting.
