Hello, I figured I'd deal with oil getting in above the cylinder. I think the front jug is getting oil leaking down from the rocker box. I'm not sure but when I had that rocker box off last year to add the missing front motor mount there was some dried oil pooled up there next to the spring. Maybe that's not where it's coming from. I believe the rear jug has bad piston rings. It otherwise runs pretty good. I feel like it could pull a little harder off a stop. I have not had a plug so fouled it wont run. But I guess I have been changing them often while jetting.
I did a compression test today. Rode bike for 30 minutes. WOT. I get 180 Front/155 Back consistently. If add oil to back jug it brings it up to 180.
Any reason not to do just one set of piston ring?
Any thoughts at all about any of this is appreciated.
I'll do a leak down test tomorrow. Going to wash the bike up and and make sure the lifter rods are adjusted still.
thank you very much.
