Guys I need help so on my 2013 kx250f, it used to kick over perfectly fine and then the high speed adjustment was messed with and will only start if bump started(sometimes) it will not kick start no matter how much I go at it for, but once I bump start it it acts like it wants to die but then catches and goes no problem and when it warms up after 10-15min of riding and kicks over fine when shut off. Fuel delivery? Valves? Compression? I havent torn into it cause It was fine a week ago until today

It sounds like the valves are out of adjustment or bad. The intake valves and seats wear and get tight and thus no compression when cold.
Have you checked the valve clearance?
Have they been adjusted before?
I noticed in your other post that this bike has 113 hours and thus needs attention.

Yea I check mine like every 10 hours lol. I'm impressed after 113 hours it hasn't blown up tbh.

Yea no valve check Ill have to do that I thought it was fuel starvation I did the valve adjustment on my crf and it had 150hrs on it before I did them but the hondas are alot easier to work on
