When in doubt....run it out.

 

Hey
I had the same trouble with my 06, severial responces from the fourm said to pull the choke out very slowly as you start the bike. Works for my 06. Our motorcycle school use 09/10 KLX 250 in our street and dirt classes, the same problem with the new bikes, the slow choke works with them also.

The bikes are lean from the factroy, so I dont know why this works.

Good luck

hmm.. well if it works thats good

 

I don't have to lean it over to start it. My responce was to a hard starting bike that has been sitting for a while and this is a method to get fresh fuel into the float bowl and at the same time make sure the fuel is up to the correct height in the bowl for pickup thus making the bike start easier. My bike starts easily every time unless it has been a couple of weeks since the last start and all or most of the fuel has evaporated from the float bowl. This method works great with 2 stroke bikes to replace the fuel and oil mixed gas that may have seperated as long as you have shaken the bike before turning on the fuel pet ****.

 

ok guy heres another trick i just learned...after storing my 07 for about 2 months,i decided to fire it up and run it a bit,was a nice day and roads were dry in upstate NY,anyway,it didn;t want to fire using the " hit start button then pull choke out" method,so i used the choke like a primer,pumping it,and it fired!...hey,whatever works..lol
