May want to check compression! Need to be 90 to 130 pounds!! Sounds like atc may have an tight value an most of the time it is the intake value because of an bad air filter somewhere down the line!!

Default tight valve,
Just wondering how would I check for a tight valve, is on the air intake you say, engine is in good shape for the year, maybe compression, or valve, once it is running it runs perfect!
Thanks,,,

Default 81 honda
Once the bike is running it runs good , but as soon as you shut it off for 10 minutes it is still hard to start even when its warmed up, crazy!
