RNBRAD Posted July 15, 2005 Report Posted July 15, 2005 You need to do a compression check, you may be in need of a set of pistons and rings. Possbily a rebore. Get some compression numbers from each cylinder and get back with us. Quote

Rare Scottish Tree Badger Posted July 15, 2005 Report Posted July 15, 2005 where can i get a compression check?? 392803[/snapback] You mean where do you check the compression, or where do you take it to get it checked? 2nd one's easy. ... A dealer or garage. Where/ how to check compression: 1/ Buy or borrow a decent quality compression tester. 2/ Remove your spark plugs. 3/ Thread the screw in adaptor that matches your spark plug threads, (in diameter and length), into one of the plug holes. 4/ Have the bike switched off, or kill switch set at no run. ... Saves damaging cdi. 5/ Switch the fuel off. 6/ Hold the throttle fully open. (Allows air into the cylinder). 7/ Kick the bike over FAST until the reading on the guage stops increasing. 8/ Release the pressure (guage goes back to zero) and do the same for the other side. Job done. ... Perform the above test with the motor COLD. Rare. Quote
