I had this same problem a few weeks ago, I was at a drag race and lost a main jet that I needed, I wound up running it a lil lean.

After my first three races, I gradually lost power, the leaness was making it run hot and the humidity that day made it worse as time went by.

What motor mods do you have? it may be just slightly on the lean side enough to make it heat up and lose power gradually like mine was.

I have video of my race, beating a highly modded yfz450...lol.
