Ok well I haven't really posted on here as I hardly ride my kfx , but need some help.

Ok so I have a 08kfx and the other day I decided to get it out, since I bought some new nerfs and wanted to put them on. I have been storing it outside in a canopy, for about 2 months. I live in Michigan so it is pretty cold right now.

Anyway so I go to start it and it took a few min. to get it to fire and run. So I let it warm up and rode it for about 5 min. around the yard in the snow. 2 days later and now it won't start again. So I pulled the plug and it was just all wet, so I cleaned it and put it back in, still no luck. It turns over fine. I had the heat on in the garage which is where its been for the 2 days. I don't know if the heat was on long enough to thaw a frozen line if that is the problem.

Anyone have any ideas what else could be causing the problem. I purchased it brand new when it came out and it probably has between 10-20hrs(maybe). It had the recall done on the fuel pump/leaking issue.

By the way it is stock other than a Baldwin Motorsports kill switch. It ran fine with it before.

Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Ryan

Sounds like your not sparkin. Check your dead man kill and change the plug.

Actually what i found out is that I needed to use the high idle knob when it is cold out. I never knew it had one, so problem solved. Thanks anyway.

I bought a used but has very low hours very clean 2008 kfx450r a few weeks ago. The guy I bought it off of got it new. He said it has been sitting for for about 5 years because he got hurt on it. So I look it over no cracks in the cases has antifreeze oil window looked good. So I checked the pipe before starting it an it was cold. The guy turns the key let's it prime an boom starts right up. I let it run a few minutes no knocks ticks the quad sounds healthy. I turn it off talk a few minutes then he starts it right back up rides it around. I take it on a ride go thru the gears perfectly everything is good. I get it back home pull it off the trailer park it in the garage. The next day I try to start it an it just cranks back fired a few times. Then the battery seemed to die I go get a brand new battery 12v 108cca an it just ticks when trying to start it now unless. I have it hooked up to a jumpbox it will crank but no start. It fkn sucks bc I spent 4 grand on the damn thing got a new battery changed the oil filter air filter. And I can't ride the damn thing does anyone know what it could be? Yes the red light comes on a few sec but goes off after it primes.
