Like I said before, I tried to prime it, but it may not have been enough. I should have poured oil down the valve covers... My mistake.
Between worrying with the low battery and charger and Dad bugging me to start it up, not only did I not get a really good prime on it, I messed up and started it on the kickstand not thinking. I remember realizing this a few seconds later and raising it up.

Too little too late.
Is it destroyed? Am I going to have a catastrophic meltdown?Found a beat up (but currently ridden) klr250 for 800 bucks. I'd like to get a street-and-trail bike. Suitable for my area. (My local commute includes steep dirt roads, backroads, and 60mph highway, and a little town driving). Dad doesn't like dirt bikes... thinks of them as child's toys or something. :facepalm:

He's more interested in a VLX600, Honda's cheap ol' 4 speed cruiser. You know how newbies are... All they can think of is Harleys and cruisers.
