[QUOTE="DarbySS, post: 1146450, member: 74180"] I purchased my first dirtbike about 3 weeks ago. A used 2005 Honda CRF250R, with very little hours. It's my first bike, and I know very little about them. When I picked it up, the guy showed me how he started it. Open the fuel line, pull out the choke, give the throttle 2 pumps, (it's cold right now) and then the bike would start within 3 kicks. After I got it home, I started it probably 2 or 3 more times, over the course of 10 days, and just rode it up and down my street. I started it each time the same way he showed me, and it fired up each time, no problem. I havent taken it to the track yet, due to the horrible weather we've had ever since I bought it. About a week ago, I changed the oil and filter, and when I was done, I started it up and let it idle for about 90 seconds, just to cycle the fresh oil though the case. It has sat in my garage for about a week since then, without being started. In that time, we have had very cold temperature's (in the 20's). Today it was in the 60's so I went out to start it and ride it up and down the street. I noticed that I had left the fuel line in the open position. I put it in neutral, gave the throttle 2 pumps, and could not get it started. I tried and tried. I finally decided that maybe I flooded it, so I pulled out the owners manual and followed to instuctions to bleed a flooded carb. Still nothing, I have tried and tried and just cant seem to get it to start. Since I know so little about these, I'm not sure if I should keep trying or what? I'm holding in the clutch when I kick it, does that matter? I've tried the hot start with no results. Starting to get irritated, could use some advice. Thanks Darby [/QUOTE]
