I recently bought a track kit for my crf. It didnt start today and it was plus 5 out. I cant imagine what its going to do when it minus 10 or 15 out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am starting to think the kit was a bad idea. They got to work i have seem them in the mountains.

the only way my 450 will start is if I crack the throttle from closed to wide open about 20 times before trying to start it, no choke. once it fires I can pull the choke out but not all the way. I bought a spare set of wheels to stud for ice but the damn thing is such a bitch to start when it's cold I sold them. it's all in your carb settings, check thumpertalk or CRFsonly for cold weather adjustment tips. I have a few buds that simply pull the choke out and with one kick theirs is running at temps below -20.
