CRF250R Hard To Start
I've always been told that if a bike is hard to start it's time for a valve check. I have my valves checked about every 6 months or 10 rides. My bike has been running awesome, but when I was out last week about an hour into my ride my bike got hard to kick and hard to start. I've said I won't ride again until I get it fixed, but does anyone know what is going on with my bike? Is it just valves or is it more then that?
Thanks.

Starting in neutral? using the hot start?
Also, have the valves been shimmed yet? once they start moving, they go out of spec pretty fast.
