Re: Compression Test

Thanks WW. It might be a big hassle for me to do but then again, the way it sounds, I'm not sure much more damage would be done with another 10 mile ride. I'll wait a bit more for some opinions but I'll probably check the valve clearances again and make sure I did them right. It's in a garage about 20 miles away as I was going to pretty much stop for the winter until I get this straightened out. My own place sits in a flood zone so storage is always a tricky thing. :roll:

Yipes, not many bikes can tread water for long.
Flood zones are a real life changer if you get caught unprepared. So far I've managed to avoid living in one but of course I always seem to live above a fault line in the Earth's crust. So far so good.

Re: Compression Test

Most people have a walk-in basement, I have
a walk-in flood zone.

I was going to make a joke about earth- shaking but then
something about the possibility of losing everything
up to and including one's life doesn't seem that
funny. :sad:
Sorry for the odd spacing I'm on my cheap phone.

Re: Compression Test

Been about 180 views since I posted the audio and still no other answers? Not that WW is not an important person or anything but with all the gurus on here, it seems someone should be able to chime in. :hide:

If I said something to offend please point me to the offense so I can at least say it again with meaning... :poke2:

Re: Compression Test

Don't worry about offending anyone, you didn't. Few folks have an ear diagnosing a sound and others aren't willing to hazard a guess and then steer you wrong. You might need the services of a pro to get a proper answer to the sound. By all means check your valves again to eliminate them and then proceed.
