can anyone help me out on this please?
i recently had the valve clearences checked and adjusted on my 2005 KTM 525 EXC. i only had them done because i was having my fork seals replaced and thought it would be worth it because i had not had them done since buying the bike and didnt know when they were last checked. i have done about 40 hours on it since i bought it.
the problem is that when i got the bike home it would not start of the electric starter but it would kick start ( it used to start easily off the button every time) so i took it back and had it checked out. they couldnt find any thing wrong and said they had re-checked the clearences, when they gave it back it started ok again.
now it wont start off the button again it just turns over. but if i pull the choke out it wont even turn over.
the battery is strong and i havent done anything to the bike since having the valve clearences done.
im puzzeled. any ideas (apart from its the wrong colour, should of bought a honda.... bla bla bla)
