This question is for a friend's '83 XR200. Last week when we went to go riding we took th bike out of the trailer and couldn't get the bike to start at all. We must have kicked it about 500 times and tried push starting it about 20 times. So we finally had her tie a peice of rope from the back of her Polaris 400 scrambler and pull me around while I try to pop start it. Finally I was able to get it to start by putting it into 2nd gear then shifting into 1st and pulling the clutch in and revving it for a minute or two. Bike rode great the rest of the day. Now yesterday (Sunday) we took it for a ride and ran great untill my friend turned the bike off and now it won't start again and the kill switch won't work. What could this be? She just had the bike in the shop a few weeks ago to have them do the jetting, clutch adjusment, and other things. It has spark, compression, and fuel but why won't it start?:scream:
Thanks for any help....:)
