2008 WR250R won't start Empty
PostSubject: 2008 WR250R won't start   2008 WR250R won't start EmptyThu Jul 18, 2013 7:17 pm

Rolled the bike out to ride to work the other morning, (after not starting or running the bike for about 5 days) started it and it ran for about 15 seconds then died. I hit the start button again and got a very slow crank and it would not start. So my first thought was battery. It is the original battery. I put it on a 36 hour trickle charge and tried it again, only I kept trying to start it until it would not crank at all and then just got a buzzing sound. The battery reads 12.69 volts, which I thought would be enough. When the key is put in the start position I hear the fuel pump priming and all of the lights work. The clock is not the right time. I replaced the plug, in case I fouled it with the slow cranking, but it still does not start. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Try this <-- last resort

Can't say it enough - do not  start the car during jumping.

I have the exact same problem on my Yamaha WR250R 08. I bought a new battery and I have replaced the spark plug.
But still the same. I don't know what it is. So I think I just have to bring it to the store and get the mechanics there
to look over it.

I don't think its an electrical problem, the lights goes on, the fuel pump buzzing and the bike is cranking when I press the start button.
But there it stops, I can crank the battery empty if I want to, but it won't start..

Bad fuel

Pinched fuel line
Clogged air filter
Wrong size gap in spark plug
Loose wire on battery terminal

I have thought about the fuel. So I removed the tank and emptied it. Need to fill it up tomorrow.
The fuel line looks okay if I'm not mistaking. I bought the exact same spark plug as the original. NGK CR9EK.
Just changed the battery so I think the wires are okay. But I can check that to.

So the problem was the battery, put in a new Shorai battery and everything is starting and running well.
Thanks for all of the suggestions, info, etc. Very happy
