Nice 1, good to see the odd car pull over and let u through. Motor sounds sweet.

Hsve never done a set of seals Tim but that kit looks preety gud for £20 And yep, i bet the roads were choka going into Southport... Bloody tourists, lol.

result there Tim, bit of improvisation every time.

o dear!

look forward to seeing you on some ride outs now Stue, cracking bike m8,

the ash deposits on two of them plugs confirm exsessive oil been burning in the chamber, Fit the new plugs and leads and play it by ear, monitor the plug colour and exhaust smoke, might very well be worth doing the seals if this is a weak point on the model, u aint got much to loose and just might cure the problem.

Just made a donation m8, gud luck with the walk.

do it now and thern myself, i use to like my old RD400 cos it had self cancelling indicators.

great news stu,

Nice 1, Busa a fantastic bike, performance is in another world.....

Happy birthday have a great day m8,

Yep, happy St Georges day lads

nice 1 Stu.

Have a gud 1,

Them bikes lookin gud...

Depends on what the book says the compression should be, iff the figures you got are within the books tolerances then the motor seems pretty sound. You did get an icrease in compresion when you used oil, 5 % on average and over 10% on number 3, this indicates some wear in the rings, although if the compression figures are in the manufacturers specs, then i wouldnt be too worried. To reiterate, if the figures are low to the manufacturers specs,, and if you had no difference when adding oil then stem seals would be suspect, If after adding a drop of oil to the cylinders the compression comes up then its indicating wear in the rings/bores. A gud indication of valve seal wear is when the engine is hot and then turned off and left, when you go back, start her, you get a puff of oil but it then clears when you have driven off, Bore ring wear will show when you boot her and you get a cloud of oil, go down a hill on overrun and then boot her, again a cloud of oil. If i was you tim i would sort the plugs, leads, first, then make sure the oil leval is correct and monitor the leval and any smoke coming out of the zorst for about 500 mls and take it from there.
