Message: [QUOTE="crf250r1, post: 1429142, member: 124007"] Thanks. After the inlet valves were adjusted, I now have heaps of compression again. Even tho the bike guy said it needed rings and piston, that does not mean much and I am sure he needs $2,000 as well. I spoke with a Honda mechanic on Saturday and he is saying it sounds like valves. Bike is back firing while trying to kick it which it never did prior to taking to mechanic. Bike top end sounds loud and tappity which It never did prior to taking to mechanic. Two leak down tests were done and both had completely different readings which is odd and something is not right. Mechanic put in wrong spark plug, cheap plug. When I took everything apart the bike had grit and grease on the screws which means they were laying on a dirty bench and personally if a mechanic can't keep his area where he works clean then how good of a mechanic is he, also missing washers on main frame as they took the carby off as well.
