Please help, I've just bought an xr500r and I'm having a hard time kicking it into life.I've changed the plug and the air filter.
There is a spark and gas is flowing.
It starts ok (usually) when it's cold but it's a pig when it's hot.
Although last week when I was riding and couldn't get it started somebody said "let me try for you" and it started first time, so I'm guessing it's just me.
I've ridden street bike bikes for 18 years (so I know bikes) but this is my first attempt at dirt bikes and the manly art of kick starting a bike.......... Any help or advice would be appreciated
