400J Butterface
ok ok! To satisfy all of you curious cats, I am finally posting pictures of my J. Believe it or not, it looked much worse than this but running ok when I bought it.
Now, It runs fantastic! But still looks like a crippled dogs ass. I was at a local shop the other day oogling over some customs when the dealer commented about my "rat" bike. I hadn't even considered that before. It will never be pretty again with its tweaked frame and every body piece mangled; but how about expanding on the aesthetic deterioration? Anyone?
Now that I have your attention, Earlier this week I did a thorough carb cleaning with three boils two with the juice, the third with plain water, then the aerosol cleaner, then blasted the shit out of it with 125lbs of compressed goodness. Bike runs fantastic as expected. However. I checked the compression today for the first time (out of curiosity,) and found two things. 1, my right sparkplug is suddenly running super rich, perfect before the cleaning. 2, the cylinders tested at 100/107 with oil -Right and 102/109 -Left. Effed up right? Insight please if I have a problem. The bike has a bajillion miles on it, most unaccounted for because of meter malfunctions from before I obtained it, so I'm sure the lowness is normal... Or is it?
