Yes I paid $1000 for it, about $800 too much ! bike has issues....... Saturday was the big day, it fired up on third kick after 27 year hibernation.( license plate reads 1989). I let warm up for a while and seems to have nice crisp throttle response and settles down to a nice idle. The oil lines were feeding oil, it was hard to see if the crank lines were getting oil ( need red oil). Petcock to tank seal was leaking petrol bad so I shut it down ordered one from fleabay With the unseasonably warm weather I should be able to spin it around the block by the end of the week. Is 125psi compression in all three cylinders good ? With carbs off I peeked in, and all the cyl and pistons look good and clean. |

Quote: Is 125psi compression in all three cylinders good ? No, that is very low.... should be 140psi.Chances are it wasn't taken correctly. -throttle wide open -kick until no further increase |

Ok I tightened my boot laces grabbed all the throttle I could get and kicked until the gauge quit moving. Photos are #1 and #3 respectfully. I didn't check #2 as it is pain in arse to the gauge threaded in |

That 160psi is way high. If the heads haven't been modified I would guess the gauge is in error. If the heads are modified then a thicker head gasket is in order. |

before I button up the oil line to the carbs is the jetting ok. 102.5 main and 40 pilots. The pods although not marked look like K&N, definitely not cheapo's. They have been washed and oiled. Stock pipes with baffles that will be cleaned as well |
