idk my mechanic did the work, i just stand and wheelie on my bike. and ride hard

It's easy to run a compression check, it will tell you where you're at, if you're cams only it will be a low compression build with a 45* IVC.

I would try the bounce method mentioned previously. I think the biggest issue is that nearly solid front wheel. That has to be heavy.

the trick is use a little rear brake but you have to really watch out, make sure you have someone running a video camera you just might make it on TV.
