just got a yz125 for playing on. when you ran it up on the spot it would bog a little like it needs cleaning out. so i cleaned the carb airbox new airfilter etc and went out 4 a little play. it was still doing the same thing sometimes it would run real clean for a little bit then bog up again. i slowed down to stop and it really did bog up then and just died and had to push it all the way back i think its fouled the plug but what would be the reason for this. im using motul fully synth 40:1 any ideas??? Cheers james

I guess now Jimmy Pomeroy will have someone to practice with.
