Ttr90 bogs down at high rpms

I have a ttr 90 that idles well but bogs down at full throttle. Carb is clean and has new pilot and main jets. Seems to run slightly better with intake off. Which leads me to believe the mixture is rich. No adjustment on carb. Stumped?

I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/layne_0fccff498c319c32

I have a xs 400 speacil 2 and for some reason it wont start and when it dose it will go idle after awhile then die my dad suspects something wrong with carbs and tells as to what it might be

Try pulling the carbs, and then the jets. Give the jets a good cleaning, should be fine after. Also, run stay bill in your gas for no future problems.

Have a suzuki 900 rf 900 when you give it gas it bogs down then picks back up and runs good have checked the carbs and intakes look fine

Sounds like a lean condition. Particularly a transition from a lesser jet to the main jet in the carbs.
Depending on how severe the problem is it could be as simple as adjusting the the main jet needles and synchronizing the carbs and richening up the idle air screw a bit.
Remember that all general service basics should be checked before adjusting carbs. Valve clearence, spark plugs, air filter, cam chain tension, etc. should all be checked/ adjusted/ serviced/ replaced before adjusting a carb.

Honda 2003 crf 230 bike idles fine with choke on,dies with choke off

You sound like you have a blocked idle jet in the carb. Honda trail bikes love new oil, clean air cleaners and clean fuel. After a while a build up of tannins and crusty residue will invade the carby bowl and usually migrate through the carb via the jets and the emulsion tube where the jet needle runs. The easiest way to fix your problem is to remove the carb and go through it. Clean all jets and check float height and generally get it back to scratch. You will have to re- adjust your idle and mixture settings after you have fited it back to the bike. If you are not Mechanicaly savi then I would suggest you take the bike in to your local honda dealer and get them to go through the carb for you.. It's not a big problem and is easlily fixed.

Hope this helps...

Cheers...

Bogging and stalling at high RPM's

The main jet need cleaning.(you should clean them all though)

Main Jet: Main jet comes into play at three-quarters open to full throttle conditions. CRITICAL to high-speed engine operation. Not only does it meter the gas into the engine, it can aid in cooling the engine as well.
