not starting

[Dsylvain]

i have a 2004 crf 250r and its not starting very easy, i have to jump start it all the time, is it the valves maybe?

[drab91]

If you haven't checked them 98% yes.. right intake 0 clearance I predict.

[mxblake332]

YES its your valves

[kevin204]

Yepperz, more than likely your valves.

[biketrdr]

where do you hook the cables to jump start it????

? lol... that actly made me chuckle....

Everyone is right..

My 05 would only "Bump" start.

Checked the valves and right intake "Zero"

Left intake .003

Both exhaust at .009

I ordered the complete 07 head w/valves, JE Piston, and gasket set from RHC. Should be here within a week ?

Also ordered a Flex Hone and Hot Cams shim kit..

Lot's of Money, but oh well, I hear it's worth it!

lol, if i ordered the 07 head, i would order 07 graphics. and wen people asked, id say it was an 07. but ive got an 06, so i dont need to do ne of that. ?

[Indetrucks]

07 Head flows better than the 06 AND the valve seats down have the problems that the previous years have. ?

[mxhonda419]

? the 06 duznt have the valve problems. ?

[Indetrucks]

Keep Riding it.. ?

[mxhonda419]

[Indetrucks]

i also have a 2004 and its damn near impossible to start, also backfires when i try and kick it over and has a clacking or a knocking which kind of scares me, i bought the bike used so i dont know all of its history. i figure its the valves too, are their any better valves i can replace mine with?

Read my post from the first page, it's the best thing you can do. The vavle seats don't wear out on the 07 heads like they do on the 05 and 06's.. and the valves are made of a better material. Besides, the head will flow better than the 04 & 05's
