I have a 2018 crf250r 14 hours total on bike. Raced it last month washed and parked it. Went out a week later wouldn’t start just cranked over. Didn’t have time to mess with it. Went back out a few days ago and still just cranked over until the battery finally died from trying to start it. How ever I can smell fuel when cranking over.so seems as tho fuel pump is getting power. Has rekluse clutch so wasn’t able to bump start. Could it be the valves out of spec? Almost how it seems? Any help would be appreciated!!!
You may want to go through your wiring connectors and clean and put di-electric grease on each.

I would suspect it’s just the battery. I read most posts in this section & it’s common to see a similar post made from someone new to e-start. The bike may turn over, but doesn’t have enough (voltage, amperage..?) to fire up. It seems the li-ion batteries may sacrifice power for lightweight? I’m not sure, I still have a kicker.
Those bikes had a clutch recall, Make sure you take care of that if you haven’t.
Change the spark plug. Even 4 strokes can foul them.
Isolate if you have a lack of fuel in the cylinder by spraying a bit of engine start (ether) in the airboot. If it tries to run, you aren't getting fuel to the cylinder. If not, it's more likely spark.
