LiftdT4R Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 When was the last rebuild?? I had a 2001 with a lot of hours, and abuse on it. I finally got it running right, but only had 100PSI in each cylinder, I ran it like that for a year before rebuilding it. It took a couple kicks to get it started, but ran fine. As long as the bike is tuned right, 110PSI isnt bad, and it will still run. But low compression can sometimes be a sign of a poorly tuned bike, in which case running it could lead to problems.

ClimbAnyHill Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Start saving your chips for a new top end. 110 is ok I ran mine like that for a while before the rebuild but It's going to be a bitch to kick over once it drops more compression.

98_banshee_newbie Posted September 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 I took the jugs off and there are no scratches ar anything really smooth actually. But I am pretty sure that it is running rich because I didn't reaize that I had to check the jetting after switching mix ratios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
