Kelsey Started a new thread 2009 crf450x Starting Issue
11/15/2022 2:52pm The bike does not want to start with the e-start, cold or hot. Once in a blue moon it will start with the button but it’s intermittent at best. It starts prefectly with the Kickstarter, most of the time on the first kick. Jetting is spot on, installed a new battery and checked all wiring. Any help is appreciated.

3/22/2019 12:47pm Always loved the 90’s Moto and the look of the 1994 KX250 has always caught my eye. Plan on racing some local vintage series so decided to go with the 97 for the motor and aluminum swing arm. Planned on getting it mechanically sound and freshen up the look......until I tore into it. So what started as a somewhat low...

1/19/2019 9:07pm Thanks. The original plan was to race a local vintage series but build went more in depth than planned. I doubt I race it but will probably ride it once or twice.

1/19/2019 6:36pm Thanks. The build took longer than I expected. Lots of cleaning and scrubbing

1/4/2019 6:09pm Feel like parts have been my biggest hold up if this whole build. Last piece of the puzzle are main bearing seals. Picked up the NOS seat from Moto Mofo. I got impatient and installed the graphics. Had some made up, a slight twist on stock but still pretty close.

1/2/2019 7:28am What’s the lowest voltage drop while starting? My old Li battery was bad and I installed a brand new ASM battery. It’s fully charged, I have been keeping it on a battery tender.

1/2/2019 5:54am Yes I should have clarified. It turns over with the e-start button. It does not drag or turn slow.

12/23/2018 8:15pm I’m new to Vital and stumbled upon this thread. When is the restaurant going to open? I’m on the west side of the metroplex and will definitely come check it out.

12/23/2018 4:50pm At a bit of a standstill. Ran into a hiccup and now waiting on cases. Everything is waiting to be installed. Decided to mock up a couple parts to keep my spirits up. Was also able to catch Pro Circuit at the right time and they pulled a pipe off the line before it got plated. Hard to beat the...

12/23/2018 4:42pm Looking forward to seeing this bike complete. I’m building up a 97 right now. Looks like you found your seat cover. If you change your mind I have a NOS Tecnosel flo green and purple that I’m not going to use.

12/20/2018 6:01am I’ll keep that in mind. I’m not sure how much I’ll be riding this thing.
