I have a 97 yz125 and just went out riding this weekend and on friday and saturday the bike ran great, then on sunday I started it up in the morning and took off then it fouled a plug. So I changed the plug and tried to go then fouled that one. then I changed it again and fouled that one. Does any one know whats wrong with it??
thanks

Well, now it is sounding like more then carburation. I would follow suit with the kill switch and also check the spark when it is cold...then run the bike...pull the plug...check spark....see if it is as strong as it was cold. Could be a coil issue too....but that is one test for ya to try....

Check the Air filter see if it's dirty
Check your spark plug. see if it's wet
When it's wet check your jetting (main jet) 390 (400)
Sea level conditions, humidity 60%
Check the air screw 1 1/4 out
Check gas needle 1/2
Check the Power Valve
check CDI (read owners manuel)
When you can't find any problems what so ever go to a specialist.

But first remove your kill switch!!!
Hope you'll solve your problem.

ya i checked the kill switch and its not that. im thinking it somehow might be the carburator because before the bike wouldnt run at all then i cleaned the carburator out then it ran for a day then had the same problem. could something have a hole thats letting dust into the carburator?

thanks

hmmmm....well it sounds like I would check the carb again. If it is dirty again then you are somehow pulling dirtinto the carb from somewhere and then at that point start looking at the boots and seals for cracks...even small cracks may cause this issue too...
