Did the exact same thing at a pony express after having everyone try to push start my cr 500 for an hour and a half remembered the  rag in the air filter!!!!! The worst part was the rag was a bright pair of undies, pulled out in front of a big crowd  of helpers by this stage!!!!! Was definetely my shout at the bar at the end of the day!!!!

Glad you sorted it out, as you found out air is as important as fuel and spark!!!
Happy Riding

Good for you Hornet , you are a very honest man, i have made similar mistakes myself-but i would find it hard to admit on such a forum...
I have a soft spot japanese mxers with aluminium tanks. Two stroke classic Dirt Track...

Just back in from riding , done 3 laps and I was buggered . The bike runs well again , my rear end felt a bit strange , but that could be the heat . Not many people out there today. I think I will give it a wash now . ... No , I will not forget the rag this time  :D
