Dirty pistons
I did the external breather on mine...glad I did.
I just saw this on a local shops facebook page and almost puked. The customer had too much compression and was blowing head gaskets. The EPA is a criminal organization...Vent to atmosphere my friends!

so I just tested the compression on my bike, both cylinders read ~180psi.
Would this be considered normal or high? Also, and this is a long shot, but could that mean I have a different set of pistons or heads on it thats making more compression?

180 is normal. Oftentimes rubbermount 1200's will have CCP 200+ in stock form.

Forum member Guzzi has an awesome work-around for vent-to-atmosphere using a Screamin' Eagle air cleaner.
