Heh. You have a nasty mind.

It's the same problem that I have talked about in this group a bazillion
times.
The idle mixture circuit is plugged up with gum and varnish.
The idle mixture screw is underneath the carburetor, downstream of the
throttle butterfly.
The idle mixture screw is hidden behind an aluminum plug that has to be
drilled out if you want to adjust the screw.
The idle mixture screw controls the single idle mixture port directly above
it.
If you don't want to bother with removing the carburetor and drilling out the
plug so you can do a proper job of cleaning out the port, at least pour about
three ounces of the non-aerosol Berryman B12 Choke and Carburetor Cleaner
into a full tank of gasoline and ride until the problem goes away.
If you want, you can use the aerosol B12 instead. Squirt it down the air jets
until it comes out the idle jets and the single idle port and the three idle
ports next to the throttle butterfly.

Take a look at the needle to see if it's secured properly.
If I understand you correctly, it started up and ran better
for a couple miles, then began to crap out and run worse.
If this is the case, I'd guess that something you put back
together came undone after a few miles riding.
You've got carburetion, compression and ignition.
While the carb's off, check the compression and
ignition timing too. There are a finite number of things
that can go wrong.

My '95 DR 250 is doing the same thing. I haven't dug into it yet but it's
almost certainly something blocking the main jet. It idles just fine and runs
up to about half throttle just like nothing is wrong, but when I give it full
throttle it just dies.
I haven't opened it up yet but I'm assuming there's an idle circuit, a
transition circuit, and a main circuit. In my case the main is plugged, and in
your case I'd suspect the transition circuit. This circuit is often a tiny slit
in the throttle bore next to the throttle plate. It would be easy for this slot
to get clogged and not be apparent. Take the carb back off and look for that
slot. Shoot it with compressed air and then see if aerosol carb cleaner will
shoot through it.
