  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

250-500cc Serious issues starting new 2012 WR250

Bike came setup from the Dealership.. I've owned a brand new yz125 and have never had an issue kick starting it.. I'm guessing there's a break in period and it'll get better potentially but i'm having a hell of a time on my first day out. It's dripping a lot of fuel while trying to start and I'm not giving it any gas at all.. Seems like If i don't get it on the first or second kick which is pretty rare it floods itself and is near impossible to kick over afterwards.. only way i've got it started was by bump starting it with someone pushing me along and even then the motor is not happy about trying to get rid of all the excess fuel..

At idle on the kick stand it drips fuel every few seconds as well.. I'm thinking the carb is letting in way too much gas but i'm unsure.. anyone have a manual I can dig into that would explain carb tuning and adjustments and possibly resolve my issue?

perhaps i just suck at kick starting?
 
Set the float level or check to be sure the viton overflow pin is not dirty. These scooters take a bit of TLC at first, hang in there they are wonderful woods bikes. Some are known to have too high of a float level and it is easily cured.

Hang in there, I known its frustrating. My WR was a pain in the butt to kick, especially when hot. I had to crack the throttle to get it to start. Set the float height, verify the jets in there and set the needle height. My 300 starts on the second kick cold and on the first kick hot. I'm running standard jetting according to the service manual. Nothing special.
