psd1 Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 Get a compression tester and post the results. The decline in performance may be hard to notice as it usually keeps getting worse little by little. Oncy you hone or bare you will notice the difference. Do the compression test and post back!

BansheeBrian Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 Keep on your jetting like white on rice. Every 20 degrees,jet. You will stay running at peak performance and it will increase the life of your motor and keep you happy. You will gradually notice a power loss if your on your way to a new top end.A scientific sign is if it doesnt wheelie like it used to check you jetting then do your comp. test.

bizanchee Posted December 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 at see level though where should i be at compression wise with the 21cc domes on a "new top end" roughly so i can calculate when i should re-ring. maybe ill just do it as preventative maintenance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frocashmoney24 Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 rings are bad, you'll notice your compression goin, and ur kick starter will go down with ease, you will probably know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
