I have a Bali 150cc made by xpro with a GY6 engine. It's only been on the road for 2 weeks and has 1450 km on it. The oil is good, there is gas in, and it definitely isnt a dead battery. Motorbike mechanics are new to me, but I have worked on my own cars so I'm not unfamiliar with mechanics.

Here's the problem. I took it on a road trip (112 km) at 88km it boggs down and dies. I did have it wide open for a while sometimes reaching speeds of 88 km/h for long stretches of highway. I pulled over on the shoulder of the road and let the engine cool completely to the touch. I added a bit of oil to it and it cranked and idled fine. So I thought I could make it the rest of the way going slowly till I reached my destination (24 km to go). I got up to 56 km/h and it boggs out again. This time it turns over, but will not crank. I am at a loss.

I can't control anyone, but if I have one request, please keep snarky comments out of this if you can. I don't mind directness, it's actually really helpful when people are blunt. But I can't afford another ride right now. This motorbike is all I have. It's my income and my daily driver. Not just a toy. 🤍

UPDATE #1

I have no spark when I touch the plug to the engine. I DO have pressure when I put my finger on the sparkplug hole. There was some soot on the copper inside the rubber connector, but I cleaned that out with a q-tip. The oil is refilled to the right level. When squeeze the rubber housing on the ignition coil, the connection feels secure on the 2 spade terminals. They don't feel loose to me. I pulled off the CDI and it looks clean and smells brand new. Am I overthinking this?

For the 3rd step, do I need to put everything back together first and then test? Or should I put everything back together with a new spark plug and then do step 3?

I'm going to eat dinner and leave things alone for a min. Hopefully it won't get dark before we can figure this out...

I am not deaf or hard of hearing, but I don't have a voice when I wake up. So I don't talk on the phone and drink something warm to start my day. Plus I wake up before everyone in my house during the quiet hours...this is what doordash had to say to me. I figured out what happened with the $4. No biggie. The problem is what that agent told me. Basically if I ever lose my voice and become mute or lose my hearing and become deaf, am I fired? 🧐 Like how can you even say that?! And calling the deaf and mute "those people" boils me. 🤬
