How to kickstart a Yamaha YZ250F

[@apexlawn]

Thanks for explaining the little lever next to the clutch....

[@xfgher]

This bike has trained my right leg well, the past few days. Past owner did seem to have overfilled the oil quite a bit, hopefully lowering the oil + starting drill will fix it !

[@krishanattri9305]

this video is insanely helpful

[@mrmatt1s]

Glad it helped you, took me a bit of research to find the correct process and just wanted to share

[@metalpatriot7045]

Thanks for the share. I just picked up one exactly like yours with same setup. Cheers 🍻

I know im asking randomly but does anybody know of a method to log back into an instagram account..? I stupidly forgot the login password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me!

@Braden Jorge instablaster ;)

[@bradenjorge3379]

@Jesse Darwin Thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im trying it out atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@bradenjorge3379]

@Jesse Darwin it worked and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thank you so much, you really help me out !

[@jessedarwin7615]

@Braden Jorge glad I could help xD

Awesome vid and edits and filming and bike

And if your yz250f 2002 don't have a de compression lever what would you then because I see alot of people talking about that but mined pretty easy to start but could be a valve adjustment or carby issue as the bike has no problems starting but won't stay idling.

[@mrmatt1s]

If your 2002 hasn’t got a decomp lever then it means someone has removed the cable and/or replaced it with an auto decompression cam. Not idling is likely to be a blocked pilot jet, take carbs, clean thoroughly with carb cleaner and compressed air - even a microscopic blockage can cause idle Issues

[@jamesthebond0072]

Hmmm I tried this looks like obviously worked for you but mines been sitting to long and tbh I don't even know what's wrong with it but just got the carby re jetted and rebuilt and it's nearly starting but I can't quite get it but It seems to wok better for me when I don't have any choke out for again mentioning Iit won't even start anyways only gotten close gives me a work out though 😂 just kicking it

[@lanebaker7109]

Make sure your valves are good

[@mrmatt1s]

Yep, valve clearance needs to be spot on. Try a small pump of the throttle first perhaps if the jetting is on the leaner side

[@ronodin56]

try bumping it

[@godzilla3306]

Clutch start works every time

[@kingryan1232]

@@godzilla3306 post a video about it lol

[@godzilla3306]

I clutch start mine works every time I very rarely use decoration lever

[@mrmatt1s]

Ah yep, could do the old clutch pop, especially easy if you live on a hill.

[@bloodfiredebt4928]

Best thing I did for starting my 02 250f, was selling it and buying a different bike.

Good video

[@rickhewitt852]

I just started watching this video and had to stop and give a little heads up to novices and pros alike, from the POV perspective, I'm not making or otherwise joking nor trying to bruise anyone's ego here, but, no socks, running shoes and shorts, your kidding right? I memorized this 40 years ago Learn from the mistakes of others, There's not enough time in your life To make them all yourself. Take head boys and girls, better bruised ego's than bruised shins and ankles PUT ON YOUR GEAR, be safe and be smart ego's heal quickly, lol Cheers. Carpe Diem

[@mrmatt1s]

Yep, when riding, wear the correct gear. In this instance I wasn’t out riding or about to go riding, just showing how to start the bike in the garage. But yes, lots easier and safer to start it with mx boots on. Also, I do have socks on - they’re just low cuff/no show 😄

[@rickhewitt852]

Once upon a time I raced Superbikes, before that dirt, trials, my first street bike was 1971 CB350, the second bedroom ( baby's room) as newly weds in our first apt, gave birth to a sorry, was where new life was bestowed upon aforementioned Honda, lmao. Anyway, enough about me, I do tend to ramble, you graciously accepted and acknowledged my gentle critic as it were, WE ALL NEED TO BE REMINDED TO BE SAFE ALL THE TIME. That way we spend more time in the saddle. As I perused more Diy,ers well, take stroll through some of the more hard core commandos, lol flip flops baggie pants, might as well get your cig lighter out to check and see how much fuel is in your gas tank. Don't laugh, that trick has been repeated far too many times, as Forrest Gump likes to iterate, stupid is as stupid does. Same goes for your tools the power tools especially, respect them, and they'll let you keep all your fingers and toes, 41 if, apologies to the Hip. Tools riding driving, if your tired stop, tomorrow is another day and it's amazing how much more efficient you are rested

[@gamtamix836]

Hii, so I'm new to 4 strokes just got my first one, so the first thing was the start up on it, damn it's confusing I did get it to start few times but I'm SO confused, anyone care to PLEASE help me out? Please I really need it.

[@juliancontreras6502]

Lmao same, the thing a BITCH to start it’s like it only Starts when it wants to😂 But today I got it on the 3rd kick but pretty sure I needa rebuild the Carb cuz it was sitting for a while from Previous owner but I only been able to ride once so far tryna get my seat tkme on ut

[@andrewwinans8124]

Do you hold the compression lever in when kicking it over?

[@andrewwinans8124]

MotoMatt it’s a Decompression Lever

[@andrewwinans8124]

MotoMatt this videos for 01/02 models which has the decomp lever which sucks man

[@nightfury1348]

I thought there wasn’t a kick starter on the yz250f

[@mrmatt1s]

This is a 2001 YZ250F, these were kickstart only

[@nightfury1348]

@@mrmatt1s ahh so what years don’t have kick starters

[@mrmatt1s]

@@nightfury1348 according to Wikipedia, appears to be 2019 and on models went to electric start, so prior to that they were all kick start: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamaha_YZ250F
