    GR650 bobber project

    I've been working on a 1983 hardtail bobber project for a while now, a little at a time. The compression is off in both cylinders. 120 in the left and 80 in the right. Bike started and ran pretty well, before I removed the motor to do some welding on the frame last Winter. Just curious how the compression could be off after removing the engine?

    Have you checked the valve clearances?

      You running an open pipe on this bobber of yours? Rejetted the carbs appropriately?

        Suppose I should have mentioned.

        1. Running PODS
        2. Pretty much open pipes (cherry bomb mufflers)
        3. Installed a rejet kit specifically designed for the set up.

        No. I haven't checked the valve clearances. Suppose I'll start there.

          Checked the valves. Two were off a bit. Adjusted them. The bike has potential life as it is chugging now, like it wants to start. Before the valve adjustment there was nothing. Just the starter. So... I think when I have some time I might be able get'er to start. Got to find some time first however.

          I think a major issue is the proper air to fuel. PODS...

            Messed around with the pods tonight and the bobber started. Thanks for the suggestions.
