Recently purchased a 2018 CRF 250 low hours starts and runs fine after it is started the first time. But starting it the first time when cold 40-50 degrees it does not want to start unless you jiggle the throttle slightly off idle rapidly when cranking. Even still takes multiple tries to get started 7, 8 or more. No engine codes. I have free play in the throttle cables. Battery is good brand new. Engine cranking speed is good. Low idle is set to 2000 rpm I have not checked the valves or compression, but as I have said once it starts even if it only idles for a minute. It will start up immediately after that. Just the initial starting that is an issue. Ideas?
Check your valves.
How many hours on engine?
Are you using the enrichment button on cold starts?
