first time it wouldnt start it sat for 2 weeks ended up pushin it to get it started. I left it outside last night and this mornin it didnt start again. Anybody else have this problem? My bike runs good so I would think the jetting is ok. It seems like its floodin itself out. Maybe I have the idle too high?

Yea, if i let my 04 sit for more than 5 days with out turning over the motor, it is a freakin pain in the **** to start. after about 45 kicks it will finally start for about 2 seconds and then shut off again and after about 20 more kicks it will stay running.

try turning the idle up a 1/4 turn.

I find that FULL choke is to much, but it still needs alittle choke. So I just pull it out alittle not all the way then hit the starter. This works great for me. Give it a try I am sure it will work for you.

yup 4aburn is right, that works great sometimes. but its most likely your idle is too high for sure happened to me on my yfz. turn it down and if u get it running bring it back to normal rpm range. or a lil above. if thats not it maybe time for some valve adjustment and a decomp adjust.

the er has throttle position sensor and you cannot touch the gas until its started.............so if you turn the idle up a bit it is like giving it just a touch of gas.
also if you pump the gas once before you hit the starter it seems to help.
