Well I have hit troubles with my 230.My bike has got some kinda bug which is making it run crap. the other weekend I was running at Ardmore and had been doing laps for a while when i came out of the corner and the bike bogs. I went into the next corner and it bogged again and then it runs like normal for a while and then happens again! argh! I'm not sure about what i'm going to do but this has been happening before that trip and i ain't happy. I can not afford to get the shop to have a look at her and i'm quite afraid she might die on me out there in the trails so I maybe forced to sit out some of the season now.oh well maybe next year,

Sounds like the carb is flooding and killing the plug. Its clearing due to engine heat and then bogging again. If it bogs, hit the kill switch and check the plug - the wet/dark one will be the faulty carb.

Its likely to be just dirt on the inlet needle/seat, so you'll need to clean the carbs.

See what others think first tho.
