I bought a KLX250S in Febuary.
When I bought it the seller had it in his garage with the garage well heated. I'd heard that these bike were jetted very lean so I didn't have a problem with this.
When I got it home I tried to start it no luck. Pointed a space heater at it's engine for a few hours and it started quite easily.
In order to safety the bike I had to change the rear tire. I had it hanging with ratchet straps from the rafters of my garage. When trying to lower it it fell on it's side and started to have gas pour out of the engine area.
After changing the tire I could not get it to start, even with the heater. I pulled the plug out and was getting a spark but plug was very white. I tried putting a little gas in the spark plug hole as this had worked for me on a snowmobile I used to have. Still would not start and plug was now black and wet.
Replaced spark plug still no luck.
Tried spraying quick start in the air intake, no luck.
Was suggested by someone at work that it likly flooded and I had gas in the oil. Changed the oil, still won't start. Checked plug and it's clean as a whistle and still sparking. tried giving it some throttle while starting, it chugs a little but no starting.
