An engine requires things to run: air, compression, fuel and spark. If any of these components are off it can cause your bike not to start or not to stay running properly. In this video, we share with you the most common problems that would cause your dirt bike not to start or stay running. There are a couple different things you can try, depending on your bikes situation. We walk you through the basics on what to look for and how to help bring your dirt bike back to life.

Bro my friend literqlly just gave me his dirtbike cuz he said he was to lazy to fix it its got a big bore kit all racing internals and i think it just need a new carborator lmao
Fastest way to start a stock TTR125: Remove stock Carburetor. Install VM24 carburetor. Kick lever down one time. Adjust idle screw. Ride. Spread the word.

Yo i love you my friend just gave me his ttr125 and i think it just needs a new carb tk start

i dont mean to be so offtopic but does anyone know a tool to get back into an Instagram account??
I somehow lost my login password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me.
@Cade Jose instablaster =)
@Jon Russell Thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Jon Russell It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much you really help me out!
If you want to know if your fuel system is the only problem, put a little spray of brake cleaner in the intake boot then start. If the engine start and run for a few seconds, you know that your spark and your compression is good enuff.
Step #1 make sure the kill switch is on...
explain
@@kyynb8867 you'll find out soon enough if it's half and half make sure the stands up too
@Emanuel Hector scammersssss
you mean off, if a KILLswitch is on it’ll kill the motor, if it’s off it won’t
Thank you 😂
Bought a used 125 for £80 yesterday, told me it’s spares or repairs, found out it was £900 new in 2009, upon further inspection I saw that the cheap Chinese spark plug just needed changing, costed me £5 for a new one, gave the carb a quick clean, and now it starts first time no issues and I’m about to list it for £450, love being mechanically minded lol
Fantastic video my friend,thank you for your time
This was very helpful, thank you
Thanks for the video
Many thanks!
I have a yz 250f and it drained the oil while I was riding and it locked up the bottom end. I have the new parts but the motor is completely torn down and I have no idea how much it’ll cost to put it back together. And I have a xr650L and that’s making a rattle noise and I think that’s from the bottom end aswell. It loses power when I ride it. And I don’t want to blow it up. How can I fix this??
I had the same problem. I had to take my whole carb apart twice because the first time I put it together I left the float bowl down and it would leak gas when I turned it on so I had to redo the whole thing again. After cleaning the carb it still wouldn’t run so I put all brand new gas and jets still wouldn’t start. Tried a spark plug and it finally kicked over after 1000 kicks lol
So u solved your problem
Great video 👍 should do one for efi bikes since it can be a little more technical.
good information
I wish Mechanics like you exist in my country ...
I would so ride this bike. That’s a dope bike 😍

I need to know how to time my ttr 125
Hello i need serious help, Recently i rebuilt the top end of my 2012 ttr 110 but it doesnt want to start. Idk what possibly could be wrong with it. From what it looks like i think its in perfect timing, it has spark, the carb is taking fuel and the airbox seems to be fine but it still isnt starting. It has compression can somebody please tell me what i should go over next?

Hiya. My bikes been off the road for approx 1 year. I've fitted a new battery but when I switch on? I have nothing. Zero. No cracking. NO electrics at all. I've checked the battery for charge,checked fuses and checked there is feed from the battery to the ignition switch. Any idea's why I still have nothing? would be greatly appreciated.Thanks
Hello I'm having a issue having doing a topend rebuild on my 125 2 stroke.... Im only geting 50psi and it won't start... What have I done wrong
hi my honda nrs 150 sp doesnt want to start i got a new spark plug i have fuel im getting spark and air and combustion is good. it should start but its just not happening can someone plz help i got allot of mechanics saying its the cdi but i want to be positive before i buy
First of All : Check the exhaust plug is taken off
I just dug out my 2001 ttr125L from storage at my parents house. Havent ran it in years and literally just went everything you described.. Minus cleaning out the jets. The bike wants fo start and it stqrts strong and goes for a few seconds, but as soon as I apply the throttle she dies. Im guessing its the jets? Or some sort of air\ fuel ratio is off and thats way above my head
John R try cleaning out the carb and jets
Same thing with mine, pilot jet wasn’t clogged or anything, didn’t make sense for a while, Yamaha mechanic couldn’t figure it out, I figured it out, yeah yeh clean your jets that will help but I had a plastic ring that goes on the tip of the main jet, it was installed wrong the plastic ring was put on the end and screwed over which cause d it to die as soon as you touch the throttle, hope that helps
Hi, I’ve got a 2008 Yz250f and for some reason it won’t kick start when I have it in gear with the clutch pulled in, however it starts easy in neutral and selects all of the gears perfectly. Do you know why this could be?
Your clutch may be worn out my 2008 xcfw 250 KTM dose the same thing
Lots of bikes do this as a safety feat
I currently got a ttr 125L and it just suddenly quit starting. I mean literally. Rode it to check my mail, few hrs later went to take the dogs for a run and nothing. Tried for 2 days. I'll check these culprits.
i have a 2 stroke Yamaha rt 100 it want start and the last time i road it. it started to backfire and i cleaned the spark plug i got it to start once do you have in idea what this means
Have a 1980 rt 180 2 stroke she start and then backfire then die when she gets warm and wont start for a few days at the least, my dad says he thinks it has something to do with the magneto so check that, hopefully you get that beast runnin again
I have a 85 cc 2 stroke it has spark but won't start at all what can it be gas is also good any clues
Yes i been having trouble getting my bike to kick start or electric start ot only want to bump start but even bump starting can be a pain in a** sometimes. Any suggestions please anything helps? I have already rebuild carb and new air filter.
Does it have good compression, do u know how many hours are on the piston
You guys do a vid on trials bikes or have any advice?
My will not stay funnjng i cleaned the carb. New gas . And my throttle twister for the cable. Seems like when u turn it pulls i losen it up and it dies but it when I apply pressure to the throttle cable it seems like either it's too tight or it's too loose. I can't seem to find The Sweet spot and it used to start every time first time now I cannot get it too
Pliz pliz pliz can u tell me why my dirt bike is making noise when starting it while cranking and it doesnt start at all
I have a yz250f it will take forever to kick start but it will ride fine has plenty of power but it won’t idle and if u cut the choke off it will bog out I ordered a carb rebuild kit for it or would it be the valves it doesent really pop and crack tho?
My bet is your pilot jet isint the right size. I got videos on em
nice vid. only thing i would add, is sometimes when cleaning the pilot jet, the holes need to me poked with a needle. especially if the bike has been sitting for a long time. in my experience at least.
That's a good point to make! Thank you for watching and your input.
l used guitar wire but can scratch inside damage widen , soak in parts cleaner over night they say or gasoline
i have a 2007 honda cr 85 i put it away for a while and it wont start it has fresh gas brand new spark plug with not even one ride on it and it still wont start before we put it away we put brand new jets that are bigger then stock ... whats the problem.
Hey, I just put a bigbore kit in my crf100 and it won't start
I feel like i could start mine if it didnt stop my kick 60% of the time
Maybe gear oil or transmission oil change
Especially on a hot ass day when u keep taking breaks lmao
same how do i fix this

So I was riding and my bike started to bugg out and it locked up the tire. It doesn’t turn on, Ive put new transoil and I checked the spark plug and it still doesnt turn on.. PLEASE HELP ME
Thanks man I didint know my bike had a air filter I don’t know a lot about them and just thought it was battery place. My problem is when I hit the fuel switch on no gas is coming out like somthing is stuck
MottoFresh4x4 I had the same problem. Just buy a new one. And make sure it is the same or that it has the same amount of outputs as the old one.
JensNedre wtf are you talking about? Please don't give advice if you don't know what you're talking about.
If there is no gas coming from the gas tank to the fuel filter to the engine you can start by checking if the filter is clogged and if it is, buy a new one. If it is not remove the fuel from the tank and put water in and see if it comes out of the gas tank
Evan Stitch Well. There are two pipes coming out of my fuel switch. Im not sure if they are for the two different jets or if one is a reserve line.
I tried to you tell him to get the original switch or atleast one that had the same design. But i can understand my explenation was abit unclear.
can i spray starter fluid in the airbox and kickstart the bike . whats the worse that can happen
hello, I have a question, I mixed gasoline with Ronda and I poured Ronda, my motorcycle shut down while driving and it wouldn't start, I drove home, took everything apart, cleaned the carburetor, but the spark plug was black, so I'm going to buy a spark plug and I'll try to see if it will fix this problem, do you know what could happen to my motorcycle due to Ronda?
I have a Thumb 110cc dirt bike and it's not starting i bought new carb bought a new spark plug it has Fresh fuel and compression in the silinder but it's not getting fuel Even when you put little bit of gas in the silinder from the fuel lining but it dont start
I’m not getting a spark and I got a new cdi box so I need ideas I have a 98 yz250
Check your magnets are clean under te flywheel and the timing is set correctly under there
Solenoid. What was it?
@@brett7954 the stator I believe was bad it’s been awhile whatever electrical part is behind the flywheel
So my plug keeps getting wet from gas/oil mix, it will run for about 10 seconds then cut off. I have to clean my spark plug then it will run for another 10, im 3 turns out on the fuel/air screw
Did you figure out the problem? I have the exact same issue.
need to change jets im picking
The fact that this bike doesn't have rear disk brakes stresses me out 😂
Omg ikr it’s stressful
Just picked up 02 ttr125L
Won't start. First thing I checked was airbox and air filter. The air filter was deteriorating a and fell apart in my hand. What would cause this? Friend said could be caused by a backfire?
It's hard to say but it could be caused by just being very old or using harsh chemicals like gas to clean the filter.
My bike turns off but makes a loud noise I ride it then it turns off while riding it. My friend said it could be the clutch blades but can someone help?
anyone have any good tips for the 03 crf450r I recently got this bike runs like a beast but will only kick start when hot and only backfires when I kick it cold have run and drop it into gear
I'm pretty sure the bike back fires when it's running too lean or too rich. If you can't kick it and can only pump start, then yeah Yah need your valves done
All the things work help me
I have a 98 ktm 380 mxc I replace my back wheel it has not been started in a month I go to go ride it, has no spark. I replaced the stator/ pickup and the coil still no spark and I hope it’s not the cdi it’s 300 bucks for my bike would you have any more ideas I would appreciate any input thank you!!
I would suggest starting with the simple stuff like putting in a new spark plug to be safe, checking your grounds/wiring connections, and making sure the wire going into the spark plug cap is making a solid connection before going onto things like the CDI box.
My cr85 kicks but won’t start I Alr put a new spark plug in help me
Was riding in 4th gear pretty fast bike died quickly no real bad noise just off,got fire to plug pored gas in cylinder,plug back in and can't get it to even try to hit , what could. It be
Well thx, but it didn't help.
I have spark, i have gas, my airfilter is good and i have compression. I looked at the main jet and pilot jet and cleaned them. I can see right through the tiny holes.
Put it back together and tried to start my dirt bike. It wont start.
What hte hell is wrong?? Please help.
What do we do if the air intake isnt clean?
I’m kind of new to riding bikes and I fell into a river and I’m pretty sure my whole carburetor got submerged and I think the air filter got some water in it so could that mostly be the problem
As long as the air filter is dry and you flushed the carb with either carb cleaner or petrol that wouldnt be the issue. You may have caused damage to the engine so if you dont know much about engines i suggest taking it to a garage incase it rusts or gets worse! Could be many things.
I have a 2013 kx250f. It wouldnt start so I change the air filter and ran. A month later it wont start. So I change spark plug and nothing (you can push start it). Test for codes and it was clear. Any ideas whats wrong?
needs rings
Matthew Nicholson check valve clearances.
hey, I have a 1999 Yamaha rt 100, when I try to kick start it, it has a lot of compression. more than normal and wont start, I ordered a new airfilter and checked the gas flow. do you have any suggestions to why this may be?
IG-Paul M try cleaning your carb
Its good if you have lots of compression, means you have a good running engine! Check the points and the magnets are clean on the flywheel, check the carb is clean, check the head hasn’t scored out. and finally check the kill switch lol.
Check valve clearances
Hey so
After a ride my bike just keeps tumbling and wont start 1996 Honda XR250L
I have a 2001 wr426f. It is extremely hard to kick over. You can stand on the kickstarter and she will barely move. But it turns over just fine when you pull in the compression lever. Would you have any ideas that would cause that?
Has it always done that since you've had it? It's a good thing your bike has that much compression but also a pain for starting. Those bikes are notorious for being hard to start and you can find forums where people talk about changing the exhaust cam to a 2003 YZ cam to give you the auto decompression feature and make kicking it over a lot easier.
@@rmatvmc yes it has, and from what I've seen like you said it has good compression. I just can't get it to start. Thank you for responding really appreciate it.
My kickstart goes down without starting I hear something spinning but it won’t start what do I do?
Is 200 good enough for a pw80?
Nitro rc / motocross hell yeah I sold a old replica one for 300
My bike worked one day then the next day, it wouldn’t shut on. Any ideas?
I checked all of that and it still won’t start.I cleaned the carb,checked the spark plug,switched the gas and oil,and checked the air filter.There is compression and when I kick it,it sounds super close but no matter what,it doesn’t work.
Did you figure it out?
Half the time I forget to turn the key to on before trying to start it. Yeah yeah, make fun of me as much as u want.
I forget to turn my fuel flow on and off alot.

@@blakethompson5993 Cool, better warm then cold.
I just have very high compression and it takes like 6 kicks what should I do
You may want to do a compression test to make sure your compression is in spec. We have a video on how to do that here: ua-cam.com/video/ui2cvCiGqA4/v-deo.html . If your compression is too high it sounds like it might be a problem with your valves or decompression device if your bike has one.
I got a 140cc it needs to be jump started because it don’t got a kick starter and it’s a custom bike it goes when it’s warm but if it dosnt start it can’t get warm
My Apollo dirt bike 125cc motor want start
I have a Chinese db17 125cc, i know don’t even tell me. I let it sit over the winter, new aftermarket carb 1 year ago. jets were cleaned 6 months ago, throttle had no tension at all replaced that, throttle has tension now, checked my spark plug looks new no residue, only thing I can think is wrong is the jets are clogged. There was black flakes in my fuel injector idk that plastic piece that shows gas is flowing into the carb.

You should start the motor to prove that your tips is working.
Hey everyone i got a yamaha yz85. My first cross bike. When i bought it it runned fine. But now the bike wont start. I have spark. New fuel. When i run start it just dies.

I think mine is the gas, but idk how to test it and have been putting it off for months(the gas is probably 2 years old at this point) only thing i know for sure is it doesnt kick start, or roll start.
That would definitely be a good place to start. You can take the fuel line off going to the petcock to drain the fuel and then fill it back up with fresh gas. The carb might be gummed up if its been sitting for that long but you can try some fuel system cleaner before taking the carb apart.
Is the inside of a spark plug suppose to be wet???
