SOURCE: Have a 2001 yamaha 250 virago and it won't satrt,

You do have fuel in the tank? Pull fuel line from carburetor--turn fuel tap ON--fuel should run from line (into clean can or bottle). If none, the brass screen inside the tap body may be plugged. Remove screen and hold with pliers. Clean with carburetor cleaner from auto parts store. When you set choke, can you see anything happening? May have water in bottom of float bowl. Remove bowl to check (and clean).

SOURCE: 2001 Virago 250. Engine starts every time but cuts

Some models have a 'kill switch' if the sidestand is still out. So the contact, telling the bike that the sidestand is it, might be damaged.

SOURCE: My Yamaha 250cc BearTracker does not start when

No ether can damage an engine and they can become dependent on it. Alot of ATV's are hard to start when it gets cold. Is the battery charged if equepted with one. You will need to choke it and let it run till it is warm and push the choke in when it starts to run rough. If this doent help let me know how it act's when this happens.

SOURCE: 2001 yamaha ttr 250, starts, idles ok, bogs at acceleration

Has the bike been stored for any long length of time?
old fuel in the carburetor will turn to a varnish like residue blocking the jets,or possibly water in the carburetor.

Testimonial: "The bike was not stored and was ridden regularly, but it still sounds like it could be the carburetor. Thanks for your insight."

My yamaha wont turn on i tryed moving the gear that the starter turns and one way it moves nice and clean and the other way locks and wont move what could it be

When it "locks", that's just compression - it's normal. If you turn it so it "locks" and wait a while, you'll be able to turn it a little more before it "locks" again - that's compression leakage, again normal. If you put it into gear and rock the machine back & forth, you'll be able to see the ring gear turning, too. Normal.

So... let's back up. When this all started happening, did the starter just crank the engine slowly? DId it crank quickly but the engine didn't fire? The battery may be dead or near-dead now, in which case you'll need to charge it or jump-start it. Regardless of how it acted, there's a lot of stuff to check before we can know for sure why it wasn't starting. First... check to be sure it has plenty of good new gasoline in it.
