[QUOTE="DougRoost, post: 153428, member: 23019"] All this ignition talk makes me wonder one thing: would a Nology HotWire help? I know this is a controversial thing and I think the "physics" on their Web site is rubbish (see previous post on HotWire). But I will say that KLX owners found this to make starts, hot or cold, a one kick affair vs. many, many kicks. I believe the capacitor in their is crutching a weak ignition, especially at low RPMs (i.e- kickstarting). My point is, for less than $40 and a few minutes effort, it's probably worth someone trying. May even give more insight into the CDI box comparo. Again, it may only be a crutch but it may be all this little wonder thumper needs. If so, owners of older 250f's could have a very inexpensive and quick solution vs. securing the much more expensive '02 CDI. If not, then there's some data to show the HotWire had no effect and that would be good to have as well. I also find it very interesting that the 400/426f owners, inlcuding many friends of mine, don't have nearly the starting headaches as the 250f owners do. All my friends with these start first or second kick every time, not or cold. Perhaps the 250f engine is really on the edge (timing, compression, cams, bore/stroke ratio, etc) to compete against the 125 2-smokes. BTW, I've read blue bike threads with great interest as I've considered one for some time. However, being only 5'8" tall, my modified KLX with a planned move to a KTM 400 E/XC is probably the better strategy for me. Maybe I should search on this or start a thread on the blue thumpers for vertically challenged riders... [/QUOTE]
