well, considering I just tore the engine completely down, rebuilt the transmission, bottom end and top end, put the rest of the bike together and filled it all with fluids I'm a little hesitant to strip off all my plastic, the tank, the carburetor or subframe, drain my rad fluid, remove my cylinder bracing, exhaust pipe, and coil just to check something so unlikely, but I guess since I can't find anyone with the knowledge to help I'll go ahead and do it. I wish it was as little as just sliding the cylinder up.
