Hello all,
New to this forum and hoping to find some answers. About two weeks ago I bought my almost 13 year old his first dirt bike, a BMS 125 Pro Premium, and at the same time bought my bike, the Apollo AGB-36C 250. Both were new when I bought them. Got it home and I rode it a couple times, just around the dirt lot near my house and the second time I did, all at once the bike died on me so I had to stop and the only way I could get it to start was by kick start rather than the electric start. After that, all was fine so I figured it was just a hiccup or maybe I had done something wrong while riding. Starting it didn't seem to be an issue and I rode it again, again nothing too harsh, just putting around the dirt lot until I got my helmet and stuff. I took it out the other day to go on a short ride and the bike just will not start at all. I'm pretty new when it comes to dirt bikes as the only one that I've ridden was a friend of mine's and that was years ago, and I certainly haven't really wrenched on one before. What things do I need to check out? I checked the spark plug and I couldn't see a spark, so first thing in the morning I'm going to get a new spark plug. In the meantime, what things can I check? Thanks for any advice you guys might have!
