GZED: No, I have not run a compression test yet. As for my top speed a GPS tracking pgm I use states my top speed around the mid to upper 50's. I know I used to get more but then again I've put on a fair amount of pounds in the last year or so lol.
After I spoke to my mechanic he quoted me somewhere between $700-$800 to repair the gasket and hopefully do not find any other issues. I can probably save close to half that figure, if not more if I do the work myself. Looks like quite an undertaking but I take comfort in knowing my mechanic will pick up the pieces if I get into trouble lol. Even dropping and reinstalling the motor itself is probably a couple hours work (my guy charges $65/hr).
Due to my current situation trying to rebuild is in my best interest. Plus, I could not in good conscience sell or trade my bike due to the problem(s) it has.
Definitely between a rock and a GZ lol...
