You need to warm it up and adjust the idle, using the idle adjustment screw on the side of the carb. Now I can't remember which position of the choke lever is ON! Someone will be along shortly to answer. I think DOWN is ON! if I remember right.

I had to turn the screw in about 2 1/2 turns for it to idle with the choke lever up, however the lever down causes it too idle way high. I took it for a quick ride and it sputters on acceleration (it didn't before). I don't want to do any more until I get the oil changed, so I'll do that shortly and save the rest for tomorrow.

You really should get your eyes checked.

Nice looking bike! Thanks for the pics.
As a tip for the next China Rider to install a kickstand spring, insert several washers or coins between the coils of the spring. That will expand it to a length that makes it easy to install without producing any blood.

The assembly wasn't bad at all. I would probably recommend buying from a different retailer than where I got mine, but overall I'm very happy with it.

Thanks, I think that may have worked. I let it warm up first then adjusted it. Just went around the block a few times. No sputtering at all. It's got a bit of grunt for a little 250.

Just a note - the handlebars and grips are aftermarket. I got the Tusk Chub bars with the YZ bend. For reference, these were pretty close to the bend of the stock bars (the Chubs are about 1" longer on each end, with slightly less pullback. Rise is about the same.)

It only gets better as it breaks in. A free flowing exhaust and carb tuning it gets even better. These are fun bikes to play around with and not cost an arm and a leg. Lol

Or a quick and easy head porting job.
