Ok heres what happened. I took my 06' yamaha TTR-230 for a ride today.WArmed it up fine.About five minutes into the ride, my bike starts sputtering then dies.I changed the sparkplug and checked the gas.It took about 5 minutes to change the spark plug for i had to find the right sized socket.So after i installed it, it ran fine. THen again, after 5 minutes into the ride, it sputterd then died.Any help? :bang: :yell:

Choke is turn off right? Carb flooding? What's the spark plug look like? How old is the fuel? Clean and properly oiled air filter?Compression test followed by a leakdown test would help with knowing if any issues with the engine's top end.
