Yeah that probably would have helped out a lot. But I'm just happy its over with and I can actually ride again.

Yeah they were. But I'm literally color blind and couldn't tell which was which. I can only see bright colors. So I had the white and Greene wires wrong.

Okay so I was online doing a little bit of research and I came across and article about a man who had the same bike and same exact problems as line. And he goes threw his steps to find whats wrong and he finally found he had hooked to wires up wrong. And he switched them and it was fixed. So I did the same and it runs like a top. Went threw all that and come to find out its something so simple.

Yes I did. I'd go and ride every weekend and it ran amazing. Until one say I was riding and stopped at a friends house and went back to start it and then that's when it started kicking back. My dad said the only other thing he could think of is the decompression cable is not hooked up. So I'm gonna hook that up and give it a go and see how it works.

So after fixing one problem, the kick start is still kicking back. My dad was a motorcycle mechanic for 12 years and he has no clue. Timing is perfect. Valves perfect. New c.d.I. we went threw everything. Its supposed to fire a little before tdc but its firing to soon. And you cannot change the spark or anything. I am lost? Its becoming a headache.

I will be sure to do that. I've made that mistake once before and will never do that again.

Okay. I actually just took the magneto off and seen that it was actually to advanced. So I'm gonna see if anything changes. Thanks for the help.

I thought it could be that but I don't know much about all that. And yes it is cdi ignition

Hello. I have a 1981 Yamaha xt250. I recently took the motor apart and done some work to it then I put everything back together. I done the timing perfect. Adjusted the valves at the right specs done everything right. But now for some reason when you start it,it kicks back really hard and it starts but runs pretty weird. Its like everything is moving to advanced and I tried everything to fix it but nothing is working. If can can help me I would really appreciate it. Thanks. Robert.

Okay. Ill do that. Thanks.

I don't even know how to start a thread? This is my first time on here. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Sorry. Not technology I mean top dead center.

I got them from searching around on the internet. The valves seem fine today but it still kicks back pretty hard when you try and start it. I've been tinkering with it this morning and I'm stumped. The piston is at technology the lines match up the valves are perfect so I can't understand it at all.

Hello. I'm new to this forum. My brother gave me his old 1981 Yamaha xt250. And it runs good but I recently took the motor apart and put in a new piston and rings and put it back together did the timing right and everything. And now it starts and runs but the valves sounds really weird. I tuned them to the right specs and it didn't help. It kinda went away but its still there. And now sometimes when you start it the kick start kicks back up really hard. If anyone can help me I will greatly appreciate it. Thanks. Robert.
