Well I went and bought myself an FJR
It only had 14k miles and the price was low. It is a clean looking bike.
When riding it there is a bit of bogging at low speed and a little vibration in the handle bars at speed.
I really just thought it needed a throttle sync, and clutch engagement adjustment.
When I tested the piston pressure I got 200+ psi in pistons 1-3.
Piston 4 was around 140 psi. Threw some oil in the piston and I got 200+ psi.
Looks likes I (hopefully) need a piston ring.
Has anybody else had this problem in a low mileage FJR?
I have some experience working on engines and the service manual but any advice would be appreciated.
Thigs / quirks particular to this engine for example.
