[QUOTE="wirefryer#85, post: 1146461, member: 69874"] Darby, probably best ask the experts in the 4-stroke forum. I'll be racing a 04 CRF250 this season but spent last season crewing for it. The bike is a moody girl when it comes to cold starts. If you're in neutral, don't bother holding the clutch in. The starting ritual you describe is basicly what I or the owner of the bike do. If it don't want to fire, I'll whack the throttle 2 more times and try again. If that don't work, then I'll shut the gas off, hold the throttle wide open AND hold the 'Hot Start' button while I lightly kick it through ten times. Then, not touching the throttle or hot start, with the choke off and gas on, try it again. If it tries to start or sneezes, just keep kicking it. More than likely, your valves need to be adjusted, the Honda system really surprised us as far as how fussy it was on valve clearances. A couple thousandths clearance is the difference between starting and wearing out your leg. :( [/QUOTE]
