Question ON starting my CR500R

[automated1]

Ok so here it goes i have no problem starting my bike when the engine is cold.

I lean it over at a 20deg angle with the throttle open to get alot of gas into the carb. I give it an easy cycling kick to prime it then a good hard kick to start it which it normally does in 1 kick.

Soon as its hot and i go to shut it off i cant get the darn thing started again. Ive tried just kicking it with no gas then also the above technique with no luck.

Could anyone tell me what i should be looking at to get it to start once its warm?
(example: carb, reeds, air leakage, anything really) I just need some where to start. I dont have alot of 2 stroke experience and im trying to learn and get this bike to run great.

BTW the bike runs like a raped ape once started and runs great its only when i shut it down and try to restart when im having these problems.

Thx for ur time,

Jason

possibly the floa t bowl height needs adjusted,floods out the carb once you warm it up and ride it around .

i would guess its the float is set to high. my lt 250 did the same i adjusted the float and it starts a lot better now
