When you finally get your folks to take you to the shop for oil and a filter. Make sure you buy enough oil and filters for a while. Since you have not changed in that long, It migfht not be bad idea to change it, run the bike for a bit. yhen change it again. Then make sure you change it every 20 hrs. Specto oil is good, or honda oil.

i changed my oil in my 450r after 1 hour b/c of the little amount of the oil thats inside it ...a ridiculous 0.85 of a quart compared to the 2 or whateve rin my old 400ex..anyways...now I change it every 6-7 hours...20 hours on break in oil is ridiculous & spend all the money you want on aarms & shocks or whatever b/c your quad wont be going anywhere after the engine locks up...good luck

I guess since everyone else already bashed on you for me I will help you on your problem. It sounds like your carb floats are getting stuck. Your floats are acting normal on the flats and as soon as you hit bumps it makes them move spratically and I think they are getting stuck. If that is not it, it is something to do with the carb causing your engine to bog, not your engine. I would take it apart regerdless clean it all out, since you have so much money buy a full pipe kit and jet that carb.
Seriously change that oil otherwise I will go to where you are ring your door bell smack you in the face and ride off with your bike to my house in california. thanks.

If you have never dealt with a carb before I would get help from someone who has, because there are a lot of little part that get lost and broken very easily. The floats are on a pivot make sure they can move freely, there is nothing in the way of them, and there is no gunk in your float bowl. A wise investment is a fuel filter to make sure no gunk gets in there. Be very careful you don't hurt your carb, and when putting it back together don't over torque anything those mini bolts and jets break very easily.
