TTR 230 carb problem

I have an 05' TTR 230. bought used with 10 hours on it and it sat in storage for bout a year. It ran great when i bought it. did all the normal stuff, clean it, change plug, gas, oil, clean air filter, etc......

recently it has started to run like crap. at first sputtering a little, some hesitation. It has now gotten to the point that it is un ridable.


It sputters and bogs during acceleration. In all gears. Idles and starts just fine. sometimes it backfires. I then roll off the throttle and it will slowly accelerate. thought it was a fuel starvation problem. Cleaned and checked the carb and air filter, no vacuum leaks, good gas, etc.

Took it to a local shop to let the pro's fix it. they drilled out a plug to access the fuel/air mixture screw. made a some adjustments and charged me 2 hours of labor. Bike runs good in 1 and 2 gear. but the hesitation and bogging still exsist in 3 and hire.

took it back to the shop and they adjusted it to run richer. sort fixed teh problem. but there is still minor bogging and hesitation during acceleration.

any suggests? is this a common problem.

It also pops out of second gear lots.

Thanks everybody for all the suggestions.

After hours of work and 4 trips to the local shop. It is fixed. It turned out not to be the carb at all. It was a little lean and it runs great now.

I am soooo retarded.......it turned out to be a loose battery cable. while riding over bumpy ground it vibrated and was shorting out. causing it to bogg, miss and hesatitae.

I tightened up the wire and instant fix. The shop did drill out the air mixture screw, and adjusted the carb to run better.

i feel like a dummy. I should checked it out better before wasting 165 at the local shop, who missed the problem 4 times. I found the wire after getting disgusted at the shop and myself.

thanks again for all the suggestions.
