Ok heres what happened. I took my 06' yamaha TTR-230 for a ride today.WArmed it up fine.About five minutes into the ride, my bike starts sputtering then dies.I changed the sparkplug and checked the gas.It took about 5 minutes to change the spark plug for i had to find the right sized socket.So after i installed it, it ran fine. THen again, after 5 minutes into the ride, it sputterd then died.Any help?

this is what happend before i blew my top end, and since i kept starting it up and hoping back on it, i was in 4th gear pinned when my piston jammed up and top end went, causing my bottom end to get all junked up too, now im looking at a bill over a thousand bucks easyyyyyy!!!! dont do what i did, check out your top end.

Choke is turn off right? Carb flooding? What's the spark plug look like? How old is the fuel? Clean and properly oiled air filter?Compression test followed by a leakdown test would help with knowing if any issues with the engine's top end.
