thanks chandlerbingfl, did you run a compression test? If so, what PSI did you get? I have not tried to bump start it, but will give it a shot.

The bike had a low top speed but didn't worry much since I only use it in the city, but on a highway test the top speed was around 55-60.

I just wish there was a way to know what component has failed without tearing it apart. Though my guess is the head cylinder gasket, since the last time I rode it was on a very cold day and was terrified to see a few poofs of white-ish gas shooting out of that area, as well as some oil seepage.

I do like the bike, so might take the time to bring it back to life. Any guess on the price of the worst case scenario? I mean at which part is it better to swap the engine? I see them on ebay for 500-800$
