i just got this 03 crf 450 from the local dealer, used. I know the previous owner now, and it was well taken care of as per the manual instructions. The bike is very clean and I put 15 hours on it before it started to go south. I have been trying to get it fixed around here but my dealer was trying to cheat me . The next closest dealer is 150 miles away. Anyway, the bike was having a hard time starting. I must have kicked it 100 times before it started the last time, following the procedures in the manual. when it finally did start, it ran fine, now problems at all starting hot, even after dropping it. The next time it would not start, period. Turned out it had no spark (stator went out) so I fixed the spark problem and it has spark now. For some reason though, it still wont start and when I pull the plug out, it is not even wet. Putting gas in the head makes it want to start. Just kickin it gives a foot long flame out the back and backfires. What gives? is it my valves? is it lack of fuel? help me out guys, I am starting to hate my honda, thinking yzf
