I hate my 450

[jsu101]

Well I put my bike on the stand last week to adjust the valves. I went though them and everything looked good so i go to start and no start. So i went back in to make sure everything was good and it was still no start. So i had a friend that works at suzuki come buy to make sure everything was right and he said it was good. Then i checked my comp, and it pulled 10psi so i did a leak down with 20psi and the valves are closed but you can here the oil in the bottom end bubbling. then i pulled the head and all looked good pulled the jug and looked good so i dont know where to go from here. any ideas

10psi of compression is a dead engine!

so! why you can have 10psi? bend valves, or ring failure!

or maybe a REALLY bad head gasket.


do you have a camshaft with decompression system?

if yeah, i think it's only your valves ajustement methode that is bad.

Your decompressor is probably out of adjustment and is letting way too much compression out preventing it from starting.

Like i said it was good. when i did a leak down it wasnt coming out the valves it coming out the bottom end you could hear the oil bubble

[swigs84]

sounds like a busted piston ring

what year ?

is it modded ?

was it running good before the adjustment or did you adjust the valves because it was acting up ?

does sound like the decomp adjustment so far

[bloodmoney23]

still no reason to hate it. I will have to say decompressor as well for 200 jerry. Gotta remember there is only a 0.0008in. you can be off on decomp to be in spec.

Don't hate it because you F'd something up. Adjust the decompression mech and go ride

[jsu101]

I dont hate it i just hate it if you know what i mean. I set the decomp to .010 what the book calls for. It is a 06 with a stage 1 cam:(

try setting it with compression tester

do a search, you will find out how
