Very hard to start
Just got back from the dunes Easter weekend, and my dale won't start unless I pull start it. It started fine the first few times, then it got harder to start every time after that, untill at the end of the second day we had to pull start it a few times.
I think that I might have a tight valve, or low compression but I really don't think thats it. Does anyone have any other ideas?

Harder and harder starting at a gradual inclimation of time almsot always is associated with valves being off. My dads and ds650 got harder to start everytime we went riding...adn he never checked the valves......so we tore it down..and the intake valves had NO play..and the exhaust had very VERY little...almost burned them up. So try the other options first.......but if your problem doesnt get fixed by those...then youll have to adjust the valves...which wont be a lot of fun.

if you do adjsut your valves......honda trx450r shims(these adhjust your valves) are the same as our dales...so jsut go to a honda dealer for them.
