cold start problem may becoming from carburators. You may have a leakage from the bowl that it drains and when you try to start it needs to be filled first and then the engine starts. Or else it might be a bit weak in the mixture. check the spark plugs and they should be middle brown and outer dark brown. if it is white and clean, then it is weak. If its black than you are running rich.
First of all let the engine run for at least 15 mins to warm up at the running temperature. Then turn it off and let it set for 10 mins. The reason is when the oil is hot it becomes thinner and 98% of the oil will drain. Now find the lowest part of the engine and there should be a bolt of spanner or socket 17mm or 19mm. Take it out and the oil will drain. let the oil drain for 10 mins and put the bolt back in, Tight it well and pour the oil from the top oil cap.
You have a crossed wire someplace in your wireharness. go back to the dealer and make them change it - it should be under warranty if you bought it new.
It's really a pain to open them up but if your feeling up to it, it sounds like the magnatron has vibrated loose and probably disconnected a wire. Disassemble and take a pic if u need help. It's pretty straight forward once inside
The model plate on the frame neck will tell you where the motorcycle was made. If the bike is really cheap (under $500) and in great shape it is probably a good deal only because most riders only put 2000 or 3000 miles a year. If it lasts 10,000 miles, your can drive it 5 years with out too much trouble. Keep in mind you can probably buy a brand new 250 cc motorcycle for around $4000 new or With low miles for $2000 to $3500. Example : last winter I purchased 2009 Suzuki DR200 with 100 miles on it for $2400 (new $3899). It gets 80 MPG, will comfortably run at 55 mph, and will go on or off road This fall I purchased a 2009 EX250 with 900 miles on it for $2500 ( new would have been $4199). Stock it will do 100 MPH and get around 50 to 55 MPG, regeared it should get 80 MPG. Look hard in the off season to get good deals. Whether your 94 CB 250 is a good deal or not depends on the price you will pay compared to a different low mile used one or a brand new. If you have $4000 to $5000 to spend there are some great deals on 500cc past year, brand new, with warranty motorcycles on the showroom floors. Check it out.
Sometimes there is some variance between identical new motorcycles. I had friend claim that his BMW speedometer was accurate and my Honda was off by 5 mph. We had the same brand(Dunlop) and size of tire. I changed my tire, same brand(Dunlop), same size, different "style" and now both speedometers read the same speed . This tire was the same number size but mounted stood taller than the old tire. What my friend failed to realize was that his cycle came stock with a Metzeler so he was not reading accurately either. So do not dismay, your friend may not have the correct height tire on his bike. You will have to make some speed runs past on of those signs that tell you how fast you are going and see how accurate your machine is. My 2009 Suzuki DR200 reads 2 MPH slow by the police speed signs.
sounds like the battery to me, have it checked by a sparky, they dont give you much warning before they **** themselves, I had to replace mine only a few months ago
It's not your clutch, it's the kickstand killswitch. I had the same
issue.
If you look down next to your kickstand on the left hand side you'll see
a silver switch (looks like a mushroom), follow the cables up to the
front end of the chasis near the sump and you'll find a black connector
with two wires coming out of it. You can either bypass the connector
using a piece of wire or just do what I did and clip the wires, wind
them together and crimp them in a connector.
