Does it make sense that I have lower compression but the bike accelerates and has a higher max rpm than before? Or are the two unrelated? Sent from my Pixel 2 using DO THE TON mobile app

I have have spoken too soon... Just got done with the regular maintenance (cam chain, valves, etc) and I'm kind of confused. So the bike sounds better (quieter engine), get to higher speeds faster, and the bike has no problem getting to 9k rpms (before it maxed out at 7k). But, the bike takes...

Weather is warming up and feel like I finally have her in a decent state. Got the original mufflers on and I gotta say it looks and sounds alot better now. Thanks everyone for all your help! If anything goes wrong and I get stuck, I'll definitely be back here

Yet guys I have a bit of a problem again... My bike starts up fine and rides good, but my kick starter isn't working I didn't remove it once when I did an oil change, but it still worked after that so I don't think I did anything wrong there. It feels like I can push down all the way without...

With the weather getting colder and whatnot, is there anything special I need to do to be able to store it? I'll be keeping it in my garage. I read some people saying to drain the carbs and tank and to remove the battery, but someone also once told me to just leave everything as is and just run...

Thanks for telling me [emoji16] because I really hate syncing lol (not so much with the adjustments more so with the prep to be able to reach the sync screw lol)

Sadly they look welded so I don't think there's a way to open it up [emoji17] So will the fact that my baffling is falling out affect performance or anything significant? I know the one side will be louder, but does that mean it'll be leaner/richer?

On other thing I noticed, while looking inside one if the mufflers, it looks as though the felt-ish lining is coming apart. Is that going to cause an issue? Is there any way to fix that?

Hey guys sorry for being so inactive but I was bust with school (projects and midterms and such) I was checking the vacuum pressure of each of my carbs and they are a bit of sync (26 left 30 right) so I'm going to need to sync that up, but I just got stock mufflers for the bike but there is a...

Ah I don't remember if I synced the carbs after I replaced the diaphragm! But I have set the A/F screws multiple times (trying to get rid of backfiring and black deposits in exhaust pipes) but I could have been doing it wrong lol To set the A/F screws I'm just looking for the point of highest...

Hahaha Im actually wearing glasses like that right now but no beard, still too much of a baby to grow that lol But back to the garage! So when the engine is still relatively cold, the bike accelerates really slowly in first gear. After I ride for a bit acceleration is normal. What should I...

SUCCESS! I went out for a 20ish mile ride, hit a new top speed of 70 mph, and was able to make it back home without any problems! Well, the bike would randomly backfire when decelerating and i couldn't push it past 8k rpms, but im assuming that can be fixed with some tuning [emoji19] You...

Yeah I see I was completely wrong [emoji23] also I got the regulator and rectifier backwards lol By looking at the wiring diagram and your drawing it makes a whole lot more sense! I'll take a look at my bike later today and see how everything is

Yep, my neutral bulb and all 4 of my speedo/tach bulbs blew out [emoji17]

So this is how everything is currently wired up: - yellow wire from alternator connected to new R/R - yellow wire from alternator connected to nothing (previously connected to rectifier) I don't see any yellow/white wires though
