| 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. _________________ 2008 WR250X Gearing: 13t - 48t Power Commander 5 / PC-V Airbox Door Removed - Flapper glued - AIS removed FmF Q4 Bridgestone Battlax BT-003rs

| 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 Clogged fuel line Pinched fuel line Clogged air filter Wrong size gap in spark plug Loose wire on battery terminal ?????????????? Air, fuel, spark - then compression. _________________ 2008 WR250X Gearing: 13t - 48t Power Commander 5 / PC-V Airbox Door Removed - Flapper glued - AIS removed FmF Q4 Bridgestone Battlax BT-003rs

| 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. | |
