Hard Start after oil change

Crabbit · 09-29-2021, 03:32 AM

Hello.
New rider.
I just bought a GZ250 and when I got it, had good power and started right up.
I changed out the oil filter (K&N) and oil with Valvoline 4t 10w40 motorcycle oil, and it felt like it had an easier time running. At first felt like it had a bit less power, but over a couple days, it's difficult to start. It's possible, but it takes me holding the starter down for like 20 seconds before it starts.
Then slowly builds rpm and power.
Any ideas?
