Hi,

My buddy has got a 250 XC 4T (2011), which he pick up from a dealer a week or so ago. The bike started no problem the first couple of times, but as we went for the first ride out the bike refused to start again.

Its cold, so the battery has been recharge, but that didn't help...it seems to be getting fuel. Not sure if its the spark plug (don't have the tools to get it out!)

What else can he look at?

Cheers

My mate has a 350 XCF and thats a nightmare to start, he spent 20 mins trying it earlier this week and it eventually started so I would be interested in answers on this too. Like u say fuel was getting through and plug was ok.
His also seems to run forever on choke which is totally the opposite to my 450exc this hates any choke other than 1 minute on 1st fire up!

I'll see what folks say, but couple of things I've found googling:

TPS Sensor could be damaged (No idea)
Dirty injectors (checking)
Right side battery relay could be worn through (will check)

I'll let you know if we get it going

when you say it won't start do you mean not turning over or is it turning over (quickly) but not firing?

is the 2011 fuel injected? early ones duffered from injectors getting blocked. you need to assertain if there is a strong spark first.
