if somebody can help thanks

(srry for my bad english)

Answer 1

CR250's have 2 stroke engines, when they are first cranked they dont idle perfect. they are built for wide open throttle, so you lose  the idle your used to with a 4 stroke engine. when you warm the bike up, it will idle better, but  i wouldnt idle very long with a 2 stroke. they tend to overheat if you idle for a while.

Answer 2

its a 2stroke they will never idle i have been riding them for 15 years and i have a 2003 cr250 and the day i bought it the bike did not idle

Answer 3

they overheat cause you don't have air going through the radiator. when you first start it give it VERY SMALL amounts of gas and when its warm, ride  slowly for about a minute and then go!

also check the spark plug and replace if necessary
