Stefano, is this the same guy that first said the bike was out of oil? Now is low compression? I am sorry but I am getting itchy with all this. Can you rewind and tell us what is the story of the bike? How many miles? how long have you had it? why did end up in the mechanic? what were the symptoms? I have been in this forum for about 3 years, and I can't remember when was the last time somebody had these kind of serious issues with a NH.
