KLX 250 starting woes..

[yampaulR1]

Hi all sorry my first post has to be a plea for help/ advice

2010 KLX 250 on a 62 plate, 110 miles on the clock and its been stood in a garage for 12 months +.... so a new battery, irridium spark plug and most of a can of easy start later it still refuses to start.... it has tried momentarily but more because of the easy start I guess as the spark plug doesnt smell of petrol, anyone got any thoughts???

Is it fuel injected or carbied?

How new is the petrol?

Start by draining all of the petrol out and refilling with fresh.If the bike has stood for as long as you mention,and if it is carbied,then it would be an idea to strip the carb out and check the pilot jet flows ok.A quick clean with some carb cleaner may well help

its fuel injected and was a bitch to start when it was running
