I've learned a lot since owning this bike, but I am no Master yet...
My bike suffers from LCD (low compression disorder). I know this, what I'm not 100% sure on is how to fix it. I've set my valve clearances many times, I don't think this is the issue. I've been read about replacing rings, honing cylinders, lapping valves and more, but I am not sure where to start.
As soon as it warms up a bit I am going to take my motor out and open up the top end. From there I don't know what I can fix on my own, or what I need to take in to a shop.
How would you approach this situation?
