    Hi Everyone, I have read some great threads but none seem to describe my issue so I would like some guidance if possible. The bike is 2004 KTM EXC 525. Purchased Second Hand in fair condition with about 160hrs. I have been slowly identifying and correcting a variety of issues. RecentIy I executed a valve adjustment which seems to have gone well. I rode the bike for little and all was fine. A few days later I was playing round with the idler screw and found I could get the bike to idle quite low in the rev range and left it. (I think this was a mistake, read on). So a few days past and I went to start the bike with Kick and it would not fire. (When I rode it previously after the valve adjustment it did need a healthy kick but it started fine). Now it will not kick start and to my astonishment the compression is huge. The reading I have done seems to indicate the idler screw affects the auto decompression in kicking in? My question is how to I get this back to easier starting? If i can get it going, is just a matter of increasing the idle speed job done? Or should I be checking the valves again? If I need to to valves again my understating is that the exhaust valves clearance is too much so they re not opening a little to make for easier starting. Thanks
