Hellacious Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 I was having a few issues with my bike so I decided to check the compression. The lady I bought it from said it had just had a rebuild and only had about 10-12 hours on it. On the left cylinder I was at 120lbs and on the right cylinder I was at about 122 lbs? Are those numbers ok? Oh yeah, she said it was bored .65 over and has stock head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heffay Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Finch, please stop posting to this thread so that I may concentrate. From what I've read here... I think the compression tests that you did are acceptable range for tearin' it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellacious Posted March 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 ya run it. what issues are ya having? I was having issues with it smoking and heating up on one side more than the other. I have another thread about it. I changed my jets out from "drilled" 200 mains and stock 25 pilots to 310 mains and 27.5 pilots and the smoking seems to have came back and running good on that side. But the right side is still warming up faster than the left. I checked pretty much everything there is to check except the intake boots...So I'm thinking I may have a small crack on that side causing a lean condition and heating up faster. Not sure though, gonna check it out soon. Anyways, glad the compression is good...Guess the chick I bought it from was honest with me after all thank God:) Oh, and I'm at sea level Finch.
