Hi, my son is out at sea and we need to move his bike, but can't remember how to start it. I think there is a switch on them that you need to turn on or flick first?? I turn the key and the panel lights up, flick the red switch on the panel, hold the clutch in and press, but nothing. My old bike just goes with a key and a kick. Can you help? It's a KLX250S Thanks

Hi Christine, hope this helps https://www.facebook.com/login/identify?ctx=recover

Check clutch switch may be stuck bike thinks you are putting in gear without pulling clutch

the clutch is not part of your problem. I would focus on the carb work that was done

I would think the switch crapped out.

check side stand switch ! kill switch !

Hi could be your engine has partially seized through being standing for so long just put it in gear and bump it over a few times to turn the engine over and get things moveing again if this doesnt work check your starter and solenoid switch connections are ok good luck

I think your bike has the electronic switch in it. I can't remember what year they changed the switch right offhand. It should have a plug on the switch with three wires in it. One wire is hot all the time and the other two should go hot when you turn the switch on. If not, your switch is bad.

Good Luck

Yes two and half turns from close or say three, but let the bike's engine run for a while to come to normal running temperature thn you do the adjustment.
Not bad if you check the air-filter too and the spark plug gap!
Hope this helps!

hi friend,
Step 1
Move switch to ON positionLocate your dirt bikes OFF/ON, RUN/OFF, or START Switch. Use your finger to move the switch to the RUN, ON, or START position.

Step 2 Turn fuel switch ONLook on the side of your dirt bike near the engine and locate the "FUEL ON/OFF" switch. Use your finger to move the lever to the "ON" position. Your dirt bike will not start if the fuel is turned off. This off switch helps prevent fuel leaks when your dirt bike is stored.

Step 3 Turn choke ONIf your dirt bike engine isn’t warm, you will need to turn the choke on to start the bike. Locate the choke lever near the engine on the side of your dirt bike, probably not far from the "FUEL ON/OFF" switch. Use your finger to move the choke lever to the on position. Once your dirt bike has started and the engine has warmed up, you will need to move the choke lever to the "off" position.

Step 4 Foot on kick start pegBend your knee and place your foot on the kick start peg while leaning your weight on your other foot. Stand slightly and push the kick starter all the way down with as much force as you can.

Step 5 Push all the way downIf the bike doesn't start after the first attempt to kick start it, try again. Remember to push the peg as far down as it will go with as much of your weight as possible.

• If your dirt bike has a four-stroke compression engine and won't start, release the compression valve and try starting it again.
• Sometimes, the engine remains in a compressed position and cannot turnover until the pressure is released.
• If your dirt bike is equipped with an electric-starter, but won't start, you can follow these steps and kick start it.
• Remember: always wear safety equipment when operating a dirt bike or ATV.
• You should at least wear a helmet, boots that cover your ankles, and a chest protector to avoid serious injury.
• Always supervise children when operating motor vehicles.
