Maybe the shakiness of the bike made your idle screw go loose. Try tightening it.

Default Helpfull advice

New to this huh........
you from winnipeg ????
Anyhow , I am sure you have gotten to ride your new BEAST a few times .
Run the break in as you should and all !

Look around, you will find that most of the probs are posted somewhere......
I am guessing your carb , DIRTY!
Jet maybe , located at the bottom of the carb . 2 screws brass in color .
Open her up carefully , and slowly to insure you see where all the parts came from . It is the center jet that may need some cleaning .
Otherwise try new plug in her too.
Ge that sucka to 50 :1 fuel to oil mix ..........

Buddy , get to know your bike quick ....... your gonna need to ........

Left side of your pocket bike, look through the fairings (the bike's body) and you should see a screw on the carb pointing out. Tighten it (clockwise) to give more gas during idle, so the bike starts easier. Make sure it's not too tight otherwise your bike will move by itself.
