3rd gear bogg

[kdxmann]

i have a 01 kawasaki kdx200 and i was driving it threw a straightaway and i shifted it into 3rd gear and gave gas to go faster but when it got into the powerband it bogged down and died. it wouldnt start for 30 minutes. i dented the procricuit pipe on that same ride im wondering if that has any thing to do with it.my father said i might of fouled a plug and then unfouled it but that just dont sound right please help me i want to ride soon:(

did u check the plug? maybe a carb thing dirty??

like i said my father started it right up when he came to pick me up so is there any way a plug can foul then unfoul??

Once the plug is fouled it's fouled until you clean it up or burn it off. Depending on the size of the dent it shouldn't make that much of a difference. It sounds like a fuel delivery problem somewhere, maybe something floated into the carb when you fell. Try cleaning the carb and check your plug.
