Why does my motorcycle keep bogging down?
There are several reasons why a motorcycle sputters. The most common reasons are carburetor issues such as a vacuum leak, fuel leak, or tuning issues. Other culprits could include corroded or cracked spark plugs or spark plug wires, a faulty ignition coil, a clogged air filter, or engine timing issues.
What to do if your bike Idles but bogs with throttle?
I will look during tomorrow times. If it idles fine but it bogs down with throttle, your high speed gas jet is probably clogged. Clean your carb and spray carb cleaner in all small passages, make sure air can flow through all ports no matter how small. Put it back together and it should run great.
What causes bogs when I open the throttle fast?
Turning this screw clockwise will rich the mixture and worsen the bog. If you find that you go more than 2.5 turns out on the air screw you need a leaner pilot, and if you’re less than 1 turn from closed you need a richer pilot.
How can you tell if your bike is in a bog?
You can tell by how your bike sounds when you turn the throttle. A lean bog will stop accelerating and sound like the engine is dying; the same as if you were to hold the kill switch down. A rich bog may allow your bike to continue accelerating, but it will sound like it’s sputtering and hesitating.
What to do when your motorcycle jetting bogs?
You’re running rich man. When the temps change you have to change your jetting although you can easily take away that bog (rich) by leaning out the air screw. If you know where your air screw is at on your carb turn it counter clockwise in 1/4 turns until it revs perfect. Turning this screw clockwise will rich the mixture and worsen the bog.

Why does my bike bog at the wrong time?
When the bike is at an idle, it will bog if you open the throttle all the way to fast. It is still rideable but sometimes when it happens it is always at the wrong time. My plug is lightly oily and black. I already cleared my jets and cleaned the carb. Thanks guys. You’re running rich man.

Why is the air filter on my dirt bike bogging?
A dirty air filter not only flows less air to the carburetor and engine, but it’s more likely to allow dirt pass by and reduce the lifespan of the engine. Less clean air means the jetting will become more rich, which can cause your dirt bike to bog. Keep the air filter clean, whether you have a 2 stroke or a 4 stroke.
