Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Original

Harder starting all of a sudden, looking for input

<< < (6/6)

Brute:
Sucks that I missed it the first time.  :x Good for me that it is working fine.  :lol: Lucky the throttle was just under a little tension instead of 'open' like your 250 was. I would have to imagine there would be some kind of damage done somewhere stopping a 500 with that method.  :-o
I always check the throttle 'snap back' before firing up but obviously missed that it was 'not quite' all the way closed at rest or at least under a bit of tension.
I remember I was in a hurry to get it started because I 'had to get going' which is always a recipe for a disaster.  8-)

Foxx4Beaver:
yeah I forget what I was doing to mine...but I had the handlebars off, just laying on the front fender with all the controls still attached....
it was because when I re-installed the front #plate, I had the throttle cable OVER the #plate bolt, instead of UNDER it like it's supposed to be, which caused it to be way too tight when the bars were turned :x
