[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1457029, member: 19880"] I really don't think the bike is likely to be that badly messed up. #1 - Find a competent technician! I find it difficult to believe his findings. Compression numbers make no sense to me unless timing got messed up and pistons hit valves - no reason for that to happen unless a cam chain tensioner went bad (unheard of for a Gen III) or someone backed it off for some reason - had any work been done on it? EXACTLY what did the dealer do except supposedly run a compression test? Could still be battery, flooded engine or starter. While this might make the bike start with difficulty and run poorly, I don't see how it could cause low compression or cause the engine to labor to turn over. [/QUOTE]
