I'm having trouble starting my 250F that was in my cold garage all winter.  Last year about this time I had to borrow one of those heavy duty shop heaters and put it next to my bike and heat it up for several minutes to get it started... is there any easier trick?  I decided not to sell it so hoping to ride it at Southwick.  Thanks!

Try heating up your fluids a little bit and then put them in the bike and kick it oveer a couple times and it should start up

pat. change the gas out and clean the carb.. if it's been sitting all winter then theres a good chance that is your problem. might as well throw a new plug in at the same time.

Thanks for the suggestions and Dan thanks for calling me... ultimately I ended up using Ken's hair dryer for about 5 minutes in his basement and it started right up.  He said it was his wife's hairdryer but I'm not buying it.  Anyway, thanks Ken.
