Hello everyone,
I recently purchased an '09 250R. The previous owner did tell me it was previously rebuilt. The bike has great compression the timing and valves are all up to spec but it doesn't start when hot and VERY difficult when cold. It seems to idle high and after I get it running (20-30 kicks cold) if not more, it heats up and is seemingly impossible to start again. The overflow does leave a puddle of gas about 20 kicks in (may be usual, still learning this bike). When running it rips and seems to idle fine for awhile then it comes back up again. I'm not sure if this could be contributing to something but it does seem to heat up a lot over a short period of time. Again the timing and shim sizes are all up to spec and I'm running out of options at this point I'm trying to avoid sending it to a mechanic (very expensive) but I will if necessary. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
