[QUOTE="SkooterG, post: 130400, member: 118"] I wouldn't worry about it tel. I say any serious long-term damage would have been obvious. This isn't the first time I have heard of this either. It was a long time ago, but at least one other time an FJR owner reported the same thing. I think it was on EZboard. Anyway, all of a sudden a no start condition after running fine, and the dealer found loss of compression. Fairly low mile FJR. Owner also reported that when turning over trying to start, engine spun fast like there was no resistance. I can't remember exactly what the outcome was. They got the FJR running and there were no more problems with it after that. I just don't remember what the root cause of the problem was, if it was even ever reported. One of those weird mystery things. Kinda like TWN's brain. Or lack thereof. Glad you got it going and will be riding it to WFO. I was getting ready to give you a really hard time if you rode in on Kraut Krap. [/QUOTE]
