Hi Everyone, So went in and spoke to the mechanic in person. It seems the pressure on cylinder #3 is 70 pounds (should be in the 140 range according to mechanic). He said for 300$ he could tear it apart and then he would be able to determine more exactly what was the cause. The motorcycle is in pristine condition overall. Both the front and rear tires are brand new and everything else has been well taken care of. At this point I think I'm looking at two options:
A. Have the mechanic tear it apart and determine the problem with cyl #3 and then re-build it myself over the summer (I don't know anything about mechanics or how motorcycles operate). B. Sell the bike for parts. I have a working space in my garage and I'm ok learning new things. But like I've said, I have no previous experience with this kind of stuff. Is re-assembling an engine terribly complex? You guys have been extremely helpful in the past and I find this email list an invaluable asset. Thank you for all the informative emails!! Any suggestions? Stefano -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
