Will a bike stall if lean?

First off, I know that that the bike is running lean - and I’m working on that. But I just want to confirm that a sign of leanness is it running quite rough after it’s warmed up. Lurching. And it seems to continue to degrade to the point where it will just stall out at a stop even when the idle is high. I’m seeking to confirm that this could be a manifestation of my lean running issue. I know it can be other things, like a bad coil, but again could it be a lean running hot motor? (It ripped up the highway tonight. Pulling all the way but started to get lurchy) Thanks. T.
 
If the bike starts up well but is running rough after it's warmed up, it's likely running rich. Have you checked the plugs?
boring answer but: clean & tune them carbs :/
 
Thanks. Plugs tell me I’m quite lean.
