Just went through this a couple times with my bike. My advise would be logical and step through it.

Bike starts so you know it's getting fuel
Bike idles so you know the idle/pilot jet isn't clogged
Check the float bowl?
Can you rev the motor or does it stall?
Does the gas cap have a vent? Is it clogged?
Check the fuel filter if there is one?
Right as it stalls pull the fuel line, is it dry?
What exactly are you doing when it stalls? Or does it just die?

There are a lot of variables and you just need to cross them off until you find the right one. Also don't forget the wild cards like electrical and switches.
