willaduncan Posted November 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 (edited) I installed my new reeds today and at idle the left cylinder's exhaust doesnt feel like it has the same compression as the right judging by the exhaust pressure but last month when i checked the compression both were within 5 psi of each other and the were in the low 130's at WOT or any throttle level for that matter it feels more of the same, could my left cylinder be blown? I was planning on a fresh rebuild from fast later next year since i have no clue how the bike was ridden and now with this mysterious rock I guess I might be sending the jusgs in sooner than planned Edited November 11, 2011 by willaduncan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasons Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Check your compression again. If you still dont feel like your gauge is right try another. if all else fails pop the head and look at it. pull the reeds out again and see if you can feel anything on the top of the piston. if all else fails pop the head and look at it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
