    Kind of stuck

    Right now my bike is running fairly well, however last spring when i was checking her over I noticed i had low compression in all cylinders, still in speck on 1,2 and 4 but my number 3 cylinder was between speck and rebuild. My question is what are my options? How long will i be able to ride it before i should be worried? I was kind of thinking of rebuilding this winter cause i want to replace my head gasket cause its leaking. How hard is it to rebuild? Any help would be great.

    Have you tried a valve adjustment yet? do this and re-test before you decide to rebuild.... :twisted:

      how do i do a valve adjustment? I checked the spacing between the lobes and the shims and that was all in speck.

          Head gasket and the compression problem are probably related. Take care of the gasket and the compression may be okay.

            leaking head gasket could definately cause a low compression reading
