[QUOTE="kawraper, post: 1366796, member: 103582"] supposedly 10-20hrs. And with a topend with a brand new piston at the beginning of the season i figured yes ride it till it feels weak ask hell or doesnt start from lack of compression. All the catastrophic failure ive seen isnt from a bad piston or ring but from a rod bering siezing in a motor. When ive seen topends go the bike dont want to start and if it does it runs very weak. The bike starts like its brand new....yes its feeling weak....i asked how many kicks for a compression test. I didnt ask " hey could you guys harass me about riding the hell out of my bike?" I want a #, 1 kick 25 kicks Thats what im asking. I was figuring it was done anyhow I just wanted a number to go off of. My idea of fun with a dirtbike is riding the hell out of it a bunch of times every week. This bike will never be perfect its 12yrs old and every time i hit the track its pinned out the whole time. Im not gona spend twice as much time servicing a $800 bike than i am riding it. Its a throwaway. I bought it figuring at the end of the season it would only be worth its weight in scrap metal. Now Im just trying to squeeze another month or 2 out of it to finish out the season without spending more in parts on it than i paid for it. [/QUOTE]
