Two things could be at fault here. First - it's a good possibility you would benefit from a new top end. Top ends go away fast in these because they are single ringers. Under hard riding, the compression starts to fall off after just 2 hours. Poor compression means lower combustion temperatures which will lead the bike to run rich.
The other possibility is that your jetting is off. If you have had this bike for a while and it's always run well then slowly started to act up, its likely poor compression, but if you recently got this bike and do not know the history of it, then it could be a simple jetting issue - not at all uncommon for 2-strokes.
Also - no need to run the BR8EG. This is a resistor plug and is a higher performance plug. If you are a top Pro rider, you could feel the difference but for 99% of riders they could not tell the difference between a BR8EG and a B8ES. The B8ES is readily available from auto parts stores (NGK stock #2411) for $1.89 instead of $12+ for a EG plug form a bike shop. This info alone could save you a bunch of money. Keep in mind the stock plug is BR9EG, so you are running one step hotter which is fine.
Also keep in mind there is a lot of information that I do not know, nor do I know the overall condition of the bike. Internet diagnosis is always tricky, but I thought I would point these things out. I hope this has helped, but if not - we need more detailed info to properly diagnose the problem.
