Sometimes it depends on your starting procedure, you just need to learn how your bike likes to start.

My 250X likes a few quick pumps on the throttle, and then a pump right as I kick it to give it a little squirt of gas from the accelerator pump. No choke, even if it is 0 degrees outside.

My 250r is the exact opposite. Full choke, and no throttle at all, and it starts within 5 kicks or so. If I DO give it any throttle when I kick, I'll have to kick it 50 times. It took me a little while to learn that.

So, it could be that your motor just likes a certain starting method, and it's up to you to learn it.

when i crank mine i always give it a little gas when i kick it but i never use the choke. but they maybe the same type of motor but 2 of em will never start exactly the same:o
