Well I'm fairly new to the whole riding thing and this sight.  I bought a 1996 RM 250.  The perfomance is outstanding - a really strong bike.  I have had it out riding twice it thick and heavy woods, not to metion 100% humidity too with it being 92 degrees.

The first time it fouled I had no idea why the bike quit on me.  I brought it to my Suzuki dealer to get it checked out and to get a full service on the bike.  I got the bike back running strong.  I was also told to run the bike hard and keep it opened up.

The second time out I did ride the bike extremely hard and it quit again.  This time I was pretty sure it was the plug.  I put a new one it and it started right up.  I analyzed the other that my Suzuki dealer put in.  It had a black soot caked all over it.  From what I have been reading it causes the electrical current which causes the spark to be bypassed, therefore not allowing the bike to run.

What could be causing this to happen? How could I correct the problem? All help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
