Then a second video trying to show it better because of the BS he was hearing from the internet. If I were him I would just not bother trying to share information out on the internet anymore as these kind of responses really make it hard to want to do it!

The path the air leak shows in his video will leak from the combustion process much faster than the **** ant 12 psi he used for testing!

It's just another problem that the M8 is having, just like the sumping and transmission transfer. Does every bike have it.......... NO, but NO bikes should be doing it!
Now, lets not go overboard here, Steve.
Complaining, whining and sarcasm have went on here for years. It is part of the 'charm' of these forums.

Always some smart aleck, (me included) stating the obvious or refuting it, just because.

I was a member of one forum a few years back that forbade statements like; checking 'blinker oil' and muffler bearings, or on a slick road, gas it......

We just need to 'weed' thru the crap to get to the pertinent info sometimes and let "boys be boys"................

Thank you to all of you that share what you find, learn and share. AND how you fix it. In your opinion. This is a free service folks, embrace it, give thanks for it.
It may be correct, it may be wrong....but it is info we all need to share.
Yes I am guilty on this as well...
I will share what I learn and be respectful of what you share and learn...
This is not a contest of who is right or wrong.
Thank you to those that share.
