I'd agree with that, mine was a pig to start when brand new. Slowly improved with more use. Now at 4500km starts with the smallest squirt of the starter.

If it's starting and idling, and running. Leave it alone. Give it 300 - 400 miles then you can fine tune it. The screw on the side is the idle screw. No secrets there, just adjust it until the idle is where you want it. Probably around 1200 rpm or so. The smaller screw in the front underneith is the fuel screw. It adjusts fuel air mixture for the low/mid rpm circuit. When you have the motor broken in, you'll probably want that screw about 2 turns out from fully closed.

Hey red I just wanted to thank you again for your help...yea after it warmed up fully it didnt really bog and it really only did that when it was idleing and I swamped it with the gas...when I rode it it I didnt notiece any problems. Yea thats prob good advice I will finish breaking it in...its still under 500 101 to be exact.

I still may call you sometime if its ok to ask you some questions about the exhaust..hey as far as a quick one now...what about drilling a hole or 2 in it what are your throughts about that? I mostly want a different sound from it and maybe increased airflow...drilling a holes seems primitive....

thanks again!

You are very welcome. Glad I could be a help. Several mambers here have drilled the muffler. I got rid of it all together and welded on a '01 YZ250F muffler that I bought on eBay. Here's what I did.

For drilling, do a search on "exhaust mod". Lots of info there.
