Gas Gas 250 wont tick over

Wilksiee, I encountered a similar idling problem that you have described. After doing all the carb cleaning, re-jetting, air filter/spark plug new replacement, the problem was still persisted.
One day my mate spotted the choke cable was not in a proper routing position, as a result the choke was always on due to lack of cable free play, worse in the steering full locking position.
After the choke cable was adjusted with enough free play, my 2011 EC300 ticking all day long

Another good point. If you're still running that rubbish handlebar choke swap it out for a normal plunger type. I see no benefit to having it on the bars. Its used once for every day I start the bike. I always jagged mine on vines and such. Was a pain.
