Bought a new bike on Monday

[Pierce]

AS per title

Bought an 06 CR250R from a fellow in taranaki. Got it looked at by energy honda in new plymouth who said it was mint bike... get it home to take for a blitz and after it's been running for about 20sec's it dies never to start again...

Took it into my trusty bike shop Boyd Honda in Hamilton who got it started but its running flat as....

[CaMo]

wtf!

That sucks man!

[cheese]

Hmm got spark got gas, got 2 stroke.

That sucks though to get it checked at a shop and that shit happens!!

What you pay for it? You not like the 4 stroke anymore?

Got it kinda cheap $5800. Still love the 4 stroke and enough power there for me but they don't make CR's anymore so I wanted to get one while they're still 'kinda' new
Always loved 2 strokes and figured... "why not?" haha this is why not Pierce....

The guy was running a hot plug which they're not suppose to but it seems like it could be power valve or something...

Um stale gas may have been it but i put fresh gas in it yesterday

[cowpoos]

hey bro...get it sorted by boyds...if ya can't afford it at the more...flick us a txt and I'll see if a mechanic friend of mine in hams will do a cash job. so you selling the CRF?

[Pierce]

Boyd always does right by us so it should be all good there. Thanks heaps for that cowpoos, i'll let ya know how I get on. Um I'll see, it's too much of a good bike haha I don't wanna sell it but i guess it's senseless havin two bikes.

[cheese]

Has it got a aftermarket pipe etc on it?

[Pierce]

[cheese]
