GR650 bobber project
I've been working on a 1983 hardtail bobber project for a while now, a little at a time. The compression is off in both cylinders. 120 in the left and 80 in the right. Bike started and ran pretty well, before I removed the motor to do some welding on the frame last Winter. Just curious how the compression could be off after removing the engine?

Suppose I should have mentioned.
1. Running PODS
2. Pretty much open pipes (cherry bomb mufflers)
3. Installed a rejet kit specifically designed for the set up.
No. I haven't checked the valve clearances. Suppose I'll start there.

Checked the valves. Two were off a bit. Adjusted them. The bike has potential life as it is chugging now, like it wants to start. Before the valve adjustment there was nothing. Just the starter. So... I think when I have some time I might be able get'er to start. Got to find some time first however.
I think a major issue is the proper air to fuel. PODS...
