Default fouling plugs

My blaster was rejetted three rides ago after i bought it. Last time i rode about 1/2 hour then it bogged down and stalled..and wouldn't start again. I pulled the plug and it was black as it could get. Changed it and it started right up..and took it home.

Yesterday on the new plug, took it out for about 15min, same thing. Plug very black. Changed it, but it wouldnt kick. I let it set for about 15min, put a brand new plug in again and it started. Before I got it home it was bogging down again.

I'm no mechanic..whats the deal?

check your air sisuation. when is it boging down, going real fast, or slow? you might want to check out the jet work that was done.

I would defently check out the jetting. If it is bogging down in the low speeds then you might need to change the pilot or needle. Why did you have it re-jetted not to long ago?

I live in the mountains of SW Va and the bike came from Florida. Local guy rejetted and said he put in a new needle- whether he did or not is another matter- but when he was done with it, it ran like a champ. Just a very short time until it was giving me problems. It also won't idle on its own-even after its ran for a while. I have to constantly rev it. It will also frequently bog down and die going up a teep hill unless i really rev the hell out of it.
It still has the oil injector, I have seen that alot of you dump this. I could do the same and mix my own if it would help.
Should I take it back to the shop?

defently. Both of you guys sound like you need to check out who did what to your bike.
Read this and then try to do it yourself. It dosn't take much to lean it by your self and that way you can dial in your jets just the way you want them.
