Am going to order some new reeds...these ones are cactus. in the photo called 'overview' you can see a black mark I have highlighted...upon closer inspection this area of the reeds is all chipped away. They are too far gone to turn over in my opinion.
What about the compression test though? 120-130psi is a little low isnt it? I was expection something up around 160?
Re the exhaust - my bike has a nickel plate exhaust on it, which is badged gas gas. It sounds heavy when you tap it though...I suspect there is some sort of baffling in there, like what my old KDX used to have. The pipes straight, but pretty rusty. I think I could justify getting a new one in the pursuit of more power.
