Yes, I knew it. I have good and bad news. Good news is that the reason why my bike had poor acceleration is mainly because of one of the vaccum pistons was not opening in the carb. Fixed that and she goes like hell, like it should. Other than the low compression, it ran good. Notice I said ran good, not runs good. My motor is now making a rattle sound at 3500 rpms and above. Runs clear and quiet at an idle. What does that sound like? Cams, Rockers, and tensioners were changed 10,000 kms ago. You'd think those would be fine because of the top-end oil mod.
