OK - bought a compression gauge - ~70PSI per cylinder at a regular starting crank.

Manual calls for 139-213PSI @ 400rpm.

 Headscratch

I've never had a compression problem - any ideas?


I think we need to know more, so as to allow us EOE to feck you around from a great distance. Or even be useful. (this is where BLS would be able to help).

More info in the KLRE thread - link is in my sig.

Changed the oil today and then put 250 miles on it to make sure the oil was well circulated.

Measured the tread depth.  6 mm before our trip through PA, MD, WV, VA, TN, and NC; 3 mm after.  Guess I'll be changing another rear tire after the Region 6 Camp Out!   Bigok

Installed a new GPS cradle after the second RAM cradle in six month broke last week.
Installed one of these - http://www.adaptivtechnologies.com/tpx-adaptive-store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=207

No road test yet, but seems to grip the GPS pretty firmly.  

I like RAM products, but I feel the RAM cradle for the Garmin Nuvi has a design flaw.

I've used my Garmin Cradle with a Nuvi for a couple of years with no issues.

Yea, different cradle. I have used the crap out of the RAM cradle for my old Street Pilot for years with no problems.  I believe it is just the way the one for the 1690 is built that causes it to break after repeated use.

Been wanting to make these changes for a while so today I ripped into her.  Bigok

1) Painted the top part of the side covers flat black. I figured it would make the nose of the V less obtrusive. V is a little more sexy now. In fact I think it looks OEM and the V should have come this way. Inlove

2) Replaced plastic push pins with real bolts and nuts on the instrument cluster surround. I also put a small screw through the front mounting tab. All buzzing is now gone!!   WOOT!  Bigok

3) Did the seat plate mod. With this mod and my foam removal that I did a year back this seat may be the most comfortable seat I have sat on in over 30 years of riding. Best part is it cost less than $1.  Bigsmile
