your bike is fuel injected tight?
if so, you need to re tune it.

get a powervision or take it to your local dyno shop and have it tuned.

Yea I've tuned it with a PV4 to account for the displacement although with the compression bump I want to get it dyno tuned.

To much fuel and to much timing will make it harder to crank..

well crap. The compression tester I’ve used on my old ls motors doesn’t fit. This will have to wait til I get a new one. But in the mean time I have this coming in.

I would not use that. It can burn the sparkplug threads..

There's been forum members that have badly damaged their heads using the Wimmer compression releases. Cancel the order, OP!
