6th gen VFR Smoking like a two stroke

Most important thing with Leak-down is consistency across cylinders.

No engine will be 100% dry, and realistically, none will be 100% wet (with some oil in the cylinders).

The # is less important that knowing what all four are.

I assume that they are doing this for free, because they probably damaged it during the last service.

They are doing it for free whether they know it or not.

As another OC VFR rider, I'm interested in knowing where it went for service.

Champion down in Costa Mesa.  I'm not officially dissing them as of yet.  Mistakes can happen.  It all depends on how they handle it when I pick up the bike.

That's the right attitude.  I always feel they're allowed to screw it up once, but hopefully they'll catch their error.
If not I've had pretty good service from O.C. Honda.

Vern, I don't mean to add more fuel to the fire.  I've had a couple of Honda owners tell me of horror stories at Champion in CM.  Such things as installing a new chain fooked up, missing screws, misaligned body fairings, etc.  If they can't do simple stuff like that, well.....

Next time, try Mach One or do it yourself or don't do it at all.  An invasive procedure like that requires a really careful mechanic who has time in his hands with proper tools and Service Manual to do things right.  Right now, I know nobody in OC I can trust to do my VFR's valve inspection except myself.  I actually had mine done by Performance Motorsports in Irvine back when they had the British mechanics working for them.  They did a top notch job but that was back in 2004 and the dealership has since changed hands.  

At this point, when you get the bike back, do your own compression test.  It's easy with the VFR as access to the sparkplugs is simple.  Just to make sure, you know...like Ken said.  WTF do they mean by 93%?  93/100 for all cylinders?  They need to be clear and if they can't, they don't know WTF they're talking about!  Consistency for all 4 cylinders is what you're looking for.

Whats the update Vern?
