Yesterday ws a beautiful 76 degrees sunshine no wind. so i got dressed fired up bike and headed out. about 6 miles from the house i felt like i was losing power. then i saw that wonderful blue smoke. i shut her down called my friend he headed over with my trailer i took her home and put her in shop. since nly a few things could cause this i did a compression test #1 -152-#2 150-# 3-112:-#2 -148 .so after flinging afew tools across teh shop i tore her doen the head came off in inder 15 mins the cylinders tried my patience lOl for 2 hrs till teh last stud finnaly gave up. i found a broken cmpression ring on #-3 and one of my oil rings was stuck. so she is torn down good time for my big bore kit and afew otehr mods. Like i told SWMBO you have to caress these old gals or they will cut ya off just when it gets good LOL. Good thig i have a few spares to ride.
