Bike was running fine, all of a sudden it does not start using the electric start or the manual kick.
Battery is new and oil changed done recently also a new spark plug is put in. Please advise what cause the issue and how to resolve it.

if that works - you need to do some carb tuning, if not it
could be a wiring problem - make sure you are getting good spark to the plug
dirt bike: kick start, fast, semi- automatic, no lights, attrative looking but thin and small.

Thanks!

There is no key for a motocross bike. Some have on/off switches, or a kill button. The YZF has a kill button, so no key, no switch, just choke it, find Top dead center, roll past and kick.
The YZF426 could be a real bear to start, especially once it was hot. It was much better than the 400 (they changed the ignition curve), but I can remember many races where riders sat on the sidelines, kicking away at a 426 that wouldn't start after a crash.
Thanks!


Some aftermarket companies offer "lighting coils" for specific bikes.
A lighting coil is attached at the flywheel and produces electricity the same way as the magneto.
There are units for quads that use a small amount of power from the CDI and amplify it to operate a headlight.
Those companies would surely have kits for bikes.
But each kit is model specific.

For trail riding, I would recommend against a moto-x or "racing" style bike. The gears are too close and the lowest ones are often too high for real technical trail stuff.
Some of the ones I am familiar with (through ownership) are the
WR-250 and the XR-250.
I moved up to the XR-250 from an XR-200 and it is a WORLD of difference. It surprised me greatly, so make sure you start carefully moving up from an 80. The engine is vastly superior, and it can do 3rd gear wheelies without popping the clutch :P. It's among the best off road machines I've ever ridden, the powerband is perfect. It also has disk brakes on both tires (unlike the 200), which you definitely want.
The racing derived bikes, like the WR (based off the YZ), is basically a racing bike with different gearing and a few trail oriented changes. Usually they keep the same high-output high-compression racing motors, which can be finicky. Some of them even recommend a rebuild after every racing season (or more frequent!), though trail riding doesn't put as much strain on it. The XR has an air cooled engine, which I've noticed can get VERY HOT in the summer when your not able to move very fast for a while. The racing derived bikes tend to be liquid cooled, but are a tad more high-strung. I've had issues with both bikes with hot starting, especially after being dropped (the XR not as bad, but sometimes it can be stubborn). If you get a bike that uses a decompress to help start (WR does, XR has one but doesn't need it), it helps if you can get one with an auto-decompress exhaust cam (greatly eases starting), or electric start (though I personally won't ride a bike that ONLY has an electric start). The WR I believe has come with a decompress standard for quite some time now (and I think electric start now too), but I had to retrofit my older model with the cam. 2-strokes do tend to start easier, I will concede that to them ;).
Things you want in a trail bike:
tons of low-end torque
disc brakes, front and back
lower, wide ratio, trail gearing
comfortable (enough) seat
probably more I'm forgetting…
almost all bike manufacturer's make a good trail bike around that displacement class. Hit up the bike forums and reviews and see what people have to say about the bikes your looking at.
best of luck on your decision and have a blast!
edit: forgot to mention, if you like the Honda CRF250, check out the CRF250X model, it is the Honda equivalent to the WR, with the different gearing, etc. from the full out racing bike.
