[QUOTE="dreezy, post: 105047, member: 886"] A buddy of mine picked up a cr on the cheap at the beginning of the summer. It's not only his first dirt bike, but his 1st ride on it was only his second time ever on a dirt bike. The first being on an under powered atk 250 I used to have and it lasted all of 2 minutes. The death bike name comes from a throttle issue. It seems to run fine other than a choppy idle all day. However out of no where the throttle will stick wfo. It has now almost sent him into the trees. The second time we were on a two track and he had to lay it down. I told him to get a top end gasket kit, my guess being the gasket at the reeds is bad, or even bad reeds. Has a new air filter, carb has been cleaned and the boot looks to be good as well. It's always sparatic and it doesn't apear to be a throttle cable issue either. I think it may be related to the shifty idle, but I really have no idea. Just wondering if any body else has had a similar issue and what the culprit was. [/QUOTE]
