RVF400 compression 9atm
Hey everbody
Looking to buy an RVF400 1994. Milage unknown
The bike is located far away from where i am.
Compression test scores 9atm on cold engine and 10.5 on warm in each cilinder. Garage air temperature is -5°C (23°F).
How much likely the cilinders and/or pistons want to finally say goodbuy to the world or is it likely that i could rase compression by changing piston rings and fixing valve clearances only?
Thanks everybody in advance for sayin' your thoughts out loud
