- It's 2019 and it's a new year and I'm learning how to start this YZ250F. It seems like it will start easiest if you don't mess with the cold choke or the hot choke or touch the throttle at all, just kick. I had already kicked this bike about 50 times and got it to stutter before giving up. After waiting 15 minutes I decided I should prove that the bike actually runs which is where this video starts. Enjoy
I suppose I need to update this vid. The problem I was having is when I installed the hot start and cold choke, I installed them in opposite locations in the carb. When I tried to start cold I would pull the "choke," not realizing I was pulling the hot start the entire time. It starts much easier when I pull the right levers now.
That is awesome!!! Im building a 08 250f right now and that it totally something I would do. After 5 months of a build I would be chasing down a simple mistake I made.
Brave man kickstarting that thing with flip-flops. 😬
Snap your toe once one that foot peg and you’ll never kick it again in flip flops
I love how he’s just casually kicking it in flip flops
ik lmao
Right the middle of my foot is bruised as we speak from kicking mine with tennis shoes on
I’ve never seen an 02 that clean. Absolute beautiful
If you buy a 2003 yz250f decompression cam, it starts lot easier. also I use the hot start always, I don’t know why but pulling it works way better than using the choke.
I have a 02 and when I didn’t know how to start it I struggled but now I start it pretty fast 😂
what you do differently?
I’m having trouble starting mine. Any tips?
Loving that super coupe in the background.
Is that a t bird or talon ?
Unmistakably a T-Bird SC, my favorite car.
What a beautiful bike. Never sell that thing
lol I was 10 years old be 40degree outside with 2001 or 2002 after all night cold and start in less than 5 kicks and and had electric start but never used it after was cold for 20+ hours and she would shoot flames out the Yoshimura pipe when she was cold I loved that bike havnt had a bike even close since tell I buy me a yz450f or yz450FX and go street legal in NC I’m 34 now
laffin at u dude hahaha I had a 1974 YAMAHA DT250 ENDURO DT 250 and that sucker wud kick back so hard it could almost flip u ove the side but either way the arch of ur foot felt like it was broken!!! I got to where id push it down the hill and time my side saddle jump to the seat to when i dropped the clutch and start it the 1st time that way or else get a tow strap but hahaha I remember frustration!!!!
Crazy starting that thing in flip flops haha good on you man haha
I had a buddy with shoes and kicked my 2002 yz250F back then and went thru his shoes and also bad cut on his foot and needed Stiches always wear riding boots if your gonna kickstart a dirt bike
My 03 starts on the first kick...it was sitting for 18 years in a garage
I’m so stubborn I hate to give up on my YZ 250 F. But what a freaking pain in the ass to start, at least you made me chuckle. Since mine runs good once it started I’m assuming it’s an issue with the carburetor. Also has the worlds most complicated carburetor for a 35 hp engine 😂
Had a kawasaki 450f 2007 swapped it for 250f 2002 cause I got excited in the moment such a dick head realise now how much off a head ace these bikes are probably just gonna be stupid again and rebuild the bike for 3k or something but they so many headaches and I'm having the same problem as this guy it just won't stay won't stay running but starts very low on compression another annoying thing I can't find parts for 2002 anywhere they only really make custom parts for 06 and up eifch is silly but yes these bike are definitely a head ache to start anyways they last long time I mean fuck 20 years for a bike to still be going running with no problems is pretty cool 😎 just a shame you can't modify anything decent under 06
Just listen for the slosh in the tank
I’m pretty sure I have to give it half slow kicks to build the compression
If you use the decompression lever on a cold start and find top end center with the kick start it will start 1st 2nd kick , I was told not to use the decompression lever on a cold start but if it works then why not !
I have a 2002 yz250f that has a kick assist on it that the user before me added. It kicks first try with no choke or hot start every time.
Ethan Wells , What is a king assist? Do you have a link to it at this point if it was made of pure gold I might still buy it
Stephen G Same I’m sick of the decomp and all
So what are you saying but a 03 or newer no decompression valve ?
03+ has the auto decompressor cam.
@@micahmiller7313 so is it okay to start it with the hot start I hear people say that helps? I got a 2003 yz 250f it does leak some gas but it should still start has compression and timing is good
@@kingryan1232 if its cold you shoukd start it with choke. If hot you should start it with hot start. You saw how long it took to start my bike with hot start when it was cold...it didnt seem to help anything
I have a 2001 Yz250f that won’t kick over only way to get it to go is bump starting it.
That just valve adjustment easy
He makes the bike look so small
It’s probably cause I’m 5,6 and ride the same bike
Just bought a KTM sx520 from 2002.. R.I.P my leg and life.
It's just like the 250 in the video.. decomp lever. Well i hate to tell you KTM but.. it's okey to have that on a 250 up to maybe 426cc. But when you have 510cc you really dont want that decomp lever. You want something else.
Valves need adjustment
did you figure it out? I have a 2002 as well and yes they are a pain in the ass to start.
Yeah, my hot start and cold choke are backwards in the carb. It starts easier if you pull the "wrong" lever. I'll do another vid soon.
Cool.. Thank you.
Micah Miller u don’t use hot start when it’s cold bro
@@the_ltz_guymaster7912 my hot start and choke are installed backwards in the carb. I figured that out soon after this vid, which is why I pull my hot start lever now. It's not a hot start anymore. It's the choke. Who knew you could switch them??
Micah Miller my hotstart is on the carb with the choke my decomp is on the bars do you have a 03 cam in your bike?
3 mins to start holy shit
Now come and show me how to start mines. Tried all these things and on my one person can start it and it’s the guy whom worked on it.
Have you tried keeping the choke out using the hot start and tdc
Grip And Rip dirtbikes Yes I did.
Do you know your tdc all bikes are different other wise check your carby and clean it
Is that a 94 eagle talon?
Nope...89 Tbird SC
I realized that right after typing the comment, a talon would way cooler though.
@@backlanelabs i used to own a 90 GST. I love those old DSM's...they are a bargain now.
How the hell were you kicking it in flip flops what the hell 🤣🤣 is it got like low compression as I have a 250f 2001 with stuffed motor and then I got another one and just changed up the carby for a rebuilt one that was the same and it's like reallt easy to kick compared to the other 250 and it will start and keep turning off like yours think maybe cam chains and shims?
No it was a fresh rebuild top and bottom. I had the hot start and choke knobs in the opposite spots in the carb. So I was cold starting it with the hot start engaged = no good. All is better now. As for the flip flops...doesnt everyone start their bikes with flip flops??
what are you 7'1, looks like your sitting on a yz85!!
Close. 6'9".
Timing chain is streched
It was my choke knobs reversed. The timing chain was brand new
My 03 start much easier
