Finally got my boys 2004 Suzuki JR50 running, which by the way, the autoinjection premix was a pain in the butt and dumped too much oil into the fuel, so it would never run. Capped it and premixed the gas in the tank and it started right up. After the Suzuki started running, my youngest claimed that is his bike and I needed to find another for my 6 year old. Scoured Facebook marketplace for a bike and really liked the TTR50's with electric start. Found one with lost of aftermarket parts and paid a little more than I wanted, much like a lot things right now, but got a cool little bike that runs well and looks great. Happy to have it. Now I gotta get my boys practicing. Cool little bike for anyone looking at mini bikes.

I’ll say, I’ve got it down to a science now. Pull the filter cover and start it using starting fluid. Spend 3-5 minutes keeping it running with starting fluid and being finicky with the choke. And I keep a second fully charged battery with me just in case.
If it wasn’t for this, the bike is great. Unfortunately, it’s enough of an issue I’m picking up a couple crf50’s for my girls. I’ve got too many pains in my ass these days. Dirtbikes are supposed to be fun.

Definitely understand where you are coming from.was in the same ballpark with the JR50 until I got the kinks worked out.wamted throw that thing in a ravine more than once. Now that it's figured out, runs great and is one less thing to worry about.
