Hi all, I have a new to me 2006 crf 450. It's in pretty good shape. had it out to the desert for a few days. it ran great until the end of the last day. fired right up first kick, idled and ran great for three days. After a hard ride through the sand one afternoon, it just did not want to idle or start again on a kick without using the decomp lever. We were pretty much done for the day, so I took it home.
Same, thing today so it's not a hot start issue, it will eventually fire, and run, seemingly ok. But it won't idle, and won't start without serious kicking and use of the decomp. Hot or cold.
I am going to go in and check valve clearnace, and other ideas on what it could be?
