I have just rebuilt the top end of my crfx 250 engine with the full Kibble White valve train . My local Honda dealer re-cut my valve seats and assembled the head , they did get one shim out of spec but i picked up on that when i got it timmed up .
So i timmed her up , i didnt find that the timming marks ever looked that "spot on" i dont know if anyone else has ever found that ??
Trouble is its real damn hard to start , it seems to have so much more compression than before even with my full weight behind it the kickstarter doesnt move on most occasions

I just finisned a 3 hour enduro and i was at good 5 miutes late getting off the line because i couldnt start it , and the few times i stalled it it took a good 10mins off my lap time . I tried all types of hot-start on/off , no throttle/ throttle combinations , even with the choke some times to get it going but none seemed to really have any effect .
I dont know if its an effect of the Kb`s but my bike is now an absolute grunt monster


I had a 125 2t sing past me on a long bumpy uphill section whilst i was pinned in 3rd , so i upped it to forth and nearly got thrown off the back

So have i maybe got the timing "out" somewhere and effected the decompression system somewhere down the line , i used to be able to give the starter a minor prod and the CRF would fire right up . Any help will be really appriciated on this one because its really causing my results to slip
