[QUOTE="TexKDX, post: 706238, member: 16276"] Basic XR setup is to look at the float level and travel. Generally the level needs lowered and the travel reduced. There are some good how-tos on the internet - just do a yahoo search on "XR Float Level" and see what you get. My experience mirror's Patmans on my XR280 and 600 - a dozen or so kicks with the choke on while pulling in the compression release seems to do it. Keep the throttle closed for 10 and open for the last 2. Then find TDC and give it a real kick. Be ready to SLIGHTLY crack the throttle after she fires. Also they put that big idle knob down there for a reason. I crank my idle up while the bike is warming on half choke so I don't have to hold the throttle open. Once warm, re-set the idle for the riding you are gonna do. If the bike has been sitting, particularly in a warm climate, be sure and get rid of ALL the old gas. Drain the tank and put it in the car or something. Like Patman's brush pile. [/QUOTE]
