Well, Just checked everything, EVERYTHING. Adjusted decomp and bike started perfectly, put on plastics and it wont start anymore, decomp is exactly 65 psi, all clearances in spec, timing is on. I heard a gasp of air from tube that goes to air box when i unplugged it from the head cover but other then that i cant understand whats wrong. Ive heard of 06+ Ers going up to as high as 85 psi and starting fine, I dont understand why mine would start one second then not, should I mmaybe up the psi to like 75 and try? Its cranking and everything just wont fire. Sparkplugs fine.

Just checked everything yet again, All clearances in check, timing is on, PSI at 65 = no fire up. PSI at 70 = no fire up. PSI was at 65 when it fired before i put plastics on. I have no idea what to check. Could it be the starter? I hear the electric noise and it cranking over when i try to start it but it wont fire.

I know this is dumb ... But i know a PRO MX Rider that had his mechanic flown in for a race cause he couldnt get his to start and forgot this part ....

Is the Gas Turned On ...??????

Yeah, he was a little red faced when all they did was turn his fuel on and it started up and ran PERFECT after that ... LOL

Are you getting Fire to your Plug ... ????

Now start checking connections ... Anything that could have came unplugged, wiggled loose or the Key being turned off or if you dont have a key make sure your splices are good .... Just keep traceing the problems back to the $$$$$ Pieces ....
