I totally agree.. But given the info from the OP. He has FOUR of these 250's,and should know what they sound like spinning over lol ! I absolutely agree it is a slow spin,be it starter or one way. But he has said repeatedly it spins good,and even hot jumped the starter. There is no need to pull your hair out. In the time it takes to be posting here. You could have layed the bike on it's side and switched the mag cover,and starter.. Obviously,the starter 1st. You say the bearing sounds interesting? The idea from post #5,or YOUR machines bearing? The bearings are a popular problem on these from dirty oil. The only "sound" usually being your starter smashing teeth off your reduction gears. You will KNOW if that bearing is bad. I have seen Yamahas and Kawasakis do this. It was always Stator. I was shooting from the hip. FlyingW went through the diagram and with that info. I would agree the cdi gr could be it. Bottom line. You are not spinning fast enough. Or you aren't making enough juice to ignite. And oh,,,,adjust your valves. Tight valve would do this too.. But that should be cold,and it would start electrically once warm..
