no it had upwards of 160 psi with the auto decompressor off. the cylinder head is new, are they not cut from factory? i just lapped in the new ones and they have a nice seal and increased my compression.yea i usually never have to change the exhaust valves but i bought the bike blown up, i am almost thinking...

i have done that, also when i start it with out the exhaust on no codes come up on the mil light, everything works and the bike runs like new with the exhaust off and the timing retarded one tooth, did just notice i need a new head gasket as mine is causing bubble in the rad that wouldn't cause...

i was hoping not to do that, already spent too much money on this. can anyone tell me why the bike will run with the exhaust off but not with it on? i just put new exhaust valves in it this morning it made the compression a bit better but nothing has changed with starting also when i have it...

no way i wish mine wasn't so stubborn, i have all brand new electrical parts i spent over 3000 in parts and nothings changed since the day i got it, only things i haven't done yet i could try is new valves or messing with the tips, still not sure where the idle knob should be iv tried all different...

what could happening with it running with no exhaust? iv been tinkering with this thing for far to long now, everything is pretty much new except bottom end, i have new valves i might put in to eliminate a leak, i re timed it which i feel is retarded one tooth and it runs clean through the rams with no...

as long as it has good tension on the chain i think it shouldn't be much of a problem, but i might buy one just to see. i have replaced almost everything in the top end iv done leak down tests and everything. I'm gonna check everything all over again

yea i never forget the basics of what makes an engine start/ run, iv taken the fuel injector out and kicked it while it was connected to the tank and it seemed to spray a good amount of fuel so i assumed it was good, got good spark, and i would assume I'm getting air, i have 120 psi compression...

i have replaced piston rings, jug, cylinder head, did a leak down test and all valves are in spec when i time it. iv also replaced spark plug wiring harness, condenser, rectifier, alternator and ckps, iv checked the crank for and damage but it's solid. iv only had the bike start a few times with the header off and i...

i have an update if anyone else has any info feel free to let me know what you think. got my bike started today but could only get it started with the exhaust off won't idle and runs shitty through rpm also won't start unless throttle is about half way could it be tps? fuel pump weak or injector?

so im gonna say its most likely piston rings and cylinder are getting wore, is that 11 hrs since you had it? yea id probably just ride it around a bit to find out what its burning might start smoking even worst

the smoke looks blueish to me which would be oil which would be valve guides or piston rings starting to go, valve guides usually only smoke on start up and go away when warm. is the coolant where you filled it too? might have a small head gasket leak how many hrs are on the bike?

white is coolant it'll have a blue colour if its oil. is it a brand new bike or used? is your coolant low? does your engine oil change levels? usually if it smokes the whole time its head gasket or piston/rings

yea, i have the special tool that hooks up to the harness and hooks up to a battery that has the ecm selector switch and fuel pump, the fuel pump works, just not as good as flow as what the manual says so i have a new pump on it wayy with a new injector. I'm leaning more towards the...

do you here any clunking or grinding noises? does it feel rough when your trying to shift it? do you let off the throttle when shifting or trying to hard shift? my guess would be wearing out tranny parts: shift forks, gears gear dogs. i recently had a 2013 kxf450 that would slip out of neutral when you leaned it...
