I got a 03 sx 250 with a problem being the spark plugs. It seems that I get about three rides per plug. It runs like a top when it is'nt fouling my plug. I use series 2000 by ams oil mixing at about 42:1. I run the stock plug and air filter oil of good quality. I am getting really peed off at the bike and ready to sell it. it's a great bike but changing the plug is really a pain in the *%$. Any thoughts?

What plug you running? I switched from a br9evx to br8evx in my 03 144. Even with lean jetting in my bike the plug stayed very dark, meaning too cold a plug. Looks perfect with the 8. Also most guys run the 2000 at 50:1 in the 250s.Not sure that would make a difference though. If your jetting seems good try a hotter plug.
