    Don't worry about the compression numbers if it runs well, they will come up as you ride it a lot.

    Find that leak!

      The reason to worry about the compression is because the crankcase pressure caused by blown by around the rings might be causing the leak, i was hoping maybe someone else on here might of had the same problem or knows more than i do about motorcycles.

        That's why it has a breather.

Then when it is over full it blows it out the secondary vent tube it lost 2 quarts in about 30 miles so it is a bad leak. I am thinking maybe a seal somewere between the engine and secondary drive. Would it be behind the clutch? Anywere on the net that might show a exploded veiw of the engine?
          Not sure about a engine pic (will check). It does sound like the seal the between the engine and 2ndary oil needs to be replaced.

            It seems to have a lot of crankcase pressure and this makes me feel like this is what has caused a seal to fail. I am going to try to compare crank pressure from aother bike. And then if its ok I will try to find were and witch seal,so far no one seems sure if it has a seal. Still looking for a break down of the engine. Might try the local dealer.
