Hello guys,
My Honda CRF450R won't start, here's a brief history of how what happened:
It all started with the bike stalling when running on idle at very low speeds, the bike would run perfectly fine at high speeds, but when slowing down and leaving it on idle it would just turn off.
When that would happen I would just start it again, typically in just one kick and it would run fine until reaching low idle speed and repeat the process all over again.
Today was an exception though, it started fine, in a few kicks, but then after running it for 5 minutes it just turned off and wouldn't start again. Even by pulling the choke out, nothing. I've tried over 100 kicks.
I also noticed that when I put it in first gear and press the clutch it won't let me move it, as if it was still in gear.
Am I having two different problems here? Has anyone had similar experience?
Thank you for your time!

And yes, if anything it has 25 hours. Thanks for the responses btw!
FYI: Pump gas gets old real fast now a days and will go bad and leave deposits in a week or 2. Ride more, use a fuel stabilizer or drain the system if the bike will not be in use for more than 2 weeks.
