Wide open throttle @ about 85kph downhill. Rear wheel locked up and freed about 3 times (with some very bad noises) until I came to a stop. I was expecting it to be solid but it did kick over (very little compression) and after a few goes it fired up. Doesn't sound good though, very tap tap tap'y like valves are way out of spec. Limped it home
After getting it home and slowly pushing it through the stroke there is compression and no strange noises, Bottom end seems fine and shifts ok
Good idea to take the head off I presume? I've never done it before so would appreciate a tear-down guide
edit: as it's cooling down its getting MORE compression. It's now got more than it ever has, it's a little hard to turn over on the compression stroke barefoot
