Wondering what the fastest procedure is to get an XR250R going again after the engine dies from being on its side (whether from a fall or from me maneuvering under a tree, etc.)
I hold the throttle full open for the first few kicks. Then I start to kick as normal.
Sometimes this doesn't seem to work and I kick and kick but no matter what it seems like it just takes a matter of time (a few minutes) for things to return to normal in there.
Keeping in mind I don't really know what's happening inside my carburetor, is there anything I might be doing wrong? If it's not starting should I keep kicking or wait? Open the throttle again?
I haven't had this problem in a race yet but I was practicing for the Maejo enduro last week and took a spill and wasted so much time and energy trying to get the bike started again it would have totally killed my time on the stage.
