Sorry this isn't XS650 related. But it is Yamaha IT :-(
Any dirt bike guys that can help me out? I'm new to the two stroke world but can't seem to find a forum for my Yamaha 79 175 IT & 81 250 IT.
- How can you test that the forks and shocks are good?
- Compression – I tried to start the 175 I and even though it was getting spark and fuel I was getting nothing. I threw the compression tester on it and first kick was 30, second 60ish until finally it maxed out at 142. Is that a valid test???
- When the bike came to me the whole front end was apart. I threw the brake line and tried to bleedd it but after 100+ pulls I'm still getting little air bubbles and no compression. Does this take a long, long time?
