[QUOTE="razorboy, post: 1403739, member: 62244"] So I went through the process again yesterday of checking leakdown and compression. I wanted to do this before tearing the topend off again to readdress the internals. Leakdown came up again perfect. But as far as compression it was weird. I had the exhaust off for the leakdown so I left it off. As I kicked the bike for compression, I heard it hisss out the exhaust port and the compression would go away. Tried to figure on why it was doing this? I gave it a couple of more good kicks and then it stopped hissing and started building compression. Got it up to 150psi this time before it levelled off. Threw the carb back on and fed it some fuel. One kick and it started? Did this over and over again for about 5-6 times and it started first kick everytime. Trying to understand what would cause an exhaust leak only to stop after a few good kicks and wondering why it didn't do that before? Anyway, bike is now running and sounds good. Thanx to the board for the help. B [/QUOTE]
