I see a lot of people ask how to cold start an XR. So hope this helps someone. Of course proper jetting is key too. (Note- don’t touch throttle until bike warms up)
Hot engine is the same technique. If it’s hard to start Hot, then jetting and/or intake/exhaust flow may be an issue. If you drop it, pull decomp and pump thru several times then do the same technique.
This bike has only had Gordon’s Mods done. Stock carb. White Brothers Slip On.
My son cut off the first part where I said “How to Start an XR” 🤷🏼‍♂️

DUDE!! I've been kicking my new to me XR400 2001 to death, tried this, and BAM, it started right right up!!! Thank you for posting this, now it's time to go riding!

My process was always to just hammer on the kickstarter until it starts 😂. This is probably better for the mechanism.

I just restored a 96 I did a 10-1 wiseco piston with a wiseco top end and a mikuni 36 mm. Pumper. Whole new bike when I get it properly jetted of course. Right now it’s just not kicking over nicely

Been having a tough time getting my ‘01 XR400 started. I’m gonna try this process tonight when I get home.

They are also lean from factory and need to breathe better. Carb- 160 main 60 pilot Needle in 3rd groove Uni Filter and open exhaust some. If stock, drill 3, 1/4” holes in spark arrester.

Do every thing but use a quarter throttle with no choke fires first kick

My aunt's 40yo Honda glx, you just put in the key, turn it, give it a light kick all the way through, and it's on. No need for all this crap, just give it a good kick, if it doesn't start, pull the choke.

Do they idle that fast? mine is idling slower, but tends to shut off when i hit the gas from zero to watata😂

What specific headlight do you have?

@tthusky510 2 года назад

It’s just a cheap Amazon flush mount LED, plugged into factory lighting cables, mounted to factory housing.
