If the bike uses a lot of oil a leakdown test is also adivsed.
If you want to get it tuned that is another matter completely...
Well I need to get a tune on it regardless. Was just thinking of using the opportunity with it all stripped down to refresh it maybe and maybe do some minor engine work to make up for my lack of riding ability. heh. I can do a compression test though. Doubt it's down any. In order to dyno now though I'll have to get it back together. I may ask the Kenny at MRP for his thoughts.
