2007 CRF250R Hard Start

[DannyD303]

I recently purchased a used 2007 CRF250R. All stock except a stage 2 Hot Cam and new valves. The bike seems to be in perfect working condition but after I wash it I cant seem to start it. Ill try for a good 30 minutes before I give up. Then the next day, it starts within 5 kicks. Anyone know why this would be happening?

It is pretty easy to get water on the air filter which then blocks air from getting through to the engine, that would be the simplest reason.

Thats what I figured as well. I just didn't know if this was a common problem with these bikes. ( This is my first dirt bike ever so Im completely new to everything)

If the water on the filter doesn't fix it, Shut the fuel off and drain the 17mm plug on the bottom of the carb. Water always finds it way in there,
