Hi,

New to the forum, I bought a 2010 Ninja 250r earlier this summer. It has 2500 miles on it. It was well maintained by the previous owner. When I bought it in July, it didn't have trouble starting. But as the mornings got colder and colder it has hard a harder and harder time starting. Now, in the middle of October in Minnesota it's around 40F in the morning...and I can not get her to start for the life of me.

I turn the key, turn the choke full, and it'll start right up and hit about 3000k, but about 2 seconds later, it dies. I pull the choke off and it'll catch and try to start, but it's not strong enough to run on it's own..without the starter going.. don't want to burn out the starter.

Wait a couple seconds, pull the choke again and itll start right up for 2 seconds..
It's almost as if the choke runs out of fuel to send after a few seconds...
I don't know.

Any help would be appreciated!!
