being restricted wouldnt lower the compression, if its too low then maybe youre head gasket is on its way out or the rings are worn?

i suppose its like anything else, all depends on how it been ridden, if its been well thrashed through its life and how well its been looked after, did they not do a test on the head gasket? as i know this is supposed to be common

well to me if its between what the manual says then i dont think u have a problem there atall, my bike has been doin exactly the sam as youres, just stripped the carbs and found the floats are at different heights!! rubber o rings round the float needle hosing are knackered and the carbs were full of crap so i think thats my problem, and youres may well be the same mate,
