my new pos yz426f cant get the damn thing started

Ahh that sucks! Sorry to hear that. You will love the 450 cam in it though, so I think in the end, you made the right choice.

[hobbes]

yeah it sucks but at least this way i wont have to worry about killing it a mile into the woods and having to push it through the mud to get it back.

A buddy of mine had a xr250r for a year before he found out how to start it, now it starts like a dream. Piont is once you find the trick it is down hill from there.

I have a 2001 Yz426f and I start mine first , second kick everytime.. Heres what i was taught!!

1 quick flip on throttle,, choke in, then kick until you feel max compression, squeeze decomp lever , kick down to 9 o.clock , release decomp lever, then let kick start rise to about 10.o clock, and with a strong steady full stroke , KICK,, it works everytime. TRY it!

Sorry to hear that. I too think ALL THIEVES should be hung! I have ZERO tolerance for thieves and lying scum bags. Sorry you lost your bike.

That freakin sucks. Do you have a pics, vin numbers and such so the rest of us can be on the lookout for your bike? Seems to be a lot of Texicans on this site, and your in Texas so chances are the bike is around there somewhere.

[hobbes]

here is the pic of it. the VIN# is JYACJ01C3YA003477 i would apreciate any info yall get on it. maybe ill get lucky and the guy who stole it will join this site in the next couple days.

[Woody_393]

Oh man... I'm sorry to hear this too. Thieves are the WORST!

Was it by chance insured?

[Freak]

How about making a new thread as well. Really sorry to hear about your bike man. I know it sounds like a lost cause, but you never know if someone from here might see it out and about. I hate a thief.
