Most of these bikes are still way new. So I would doubt anyone has checked them. | ||

Illbuell, you might try PM'ing Chameleon. He's got over 40k on his 1125, I and believe he does most of his own service work, he'll probably know. | ||

I wish I did most of my work... Truth is I'm great with computers, but not so great with mechanical stuff. I f'd up my car's motor replacing a spark plug. Good thing I already had a turbo motor waiting to go into it. Anyway, I have not compression tested my bike, but I've been curious to do so. It still runs very strong with over 43,000 miles on it, so I doubt it has any issues. I'll see if I can get my buddy Norm to do a compression test while we're installing the exhaust tips... Might take some convincing though; that front cyl is a bitch to get at without rotating the motor. Yet I've still managed to replace the spark plugs twice (and not f it up) without rotating it. Worst case we'll just test the rear cyl. |
