And I totally agree with your statement. Like I said though the bike runs like there is nothing wrong other than a lack of top speed which I attribute to age...

Am I correct in saying that when I push start and release the clutch in 1st that the compression must be higher? As opposed to just using the starter...

Thanks again,
