New to motorbikes - Drz250 broke down in town

Spark looks good, fuel could be the issue. They come with two carb types, a flat slide or a cv carb. Perhaps one of the jets is blocked? Might be an idea to take the whole bike to the shop, just in case it is a very easy fix.

your jets are numbered two. an idle one and a not idle one.
if one is blocked/sticking/generally or otherwise fucked, good chance the other one is too.
valve does not need to be dropped to cause gay. blocked/stickinglgenerally or otherwise fucked will do it all the same.

check compression. check valves. (leak down)

but seriously, go and get a new $7 spark plug.

I forgot to mention I've tried a different plug. The plug in there was 2 weeks old. Swapped to the old and still no luck.

Got it sorted took it to the motorcycle doctor. It wasn't fuel or spark and was timing related as I suspected. What I was told is the fly wheel had come loose and twisted messing with the timing. A sack of money later and it's all fixed.

Wow. Odd problem. Glad you got it sorted.
