Compression Release Question
I have a 103 build with manual compression releases. When the bike is hot, the compression releases tend to remain open when I fire her up. This happens until I crack the throttle. Is this normal operation?

Thanks - just wanted to make sure I'm not hurting the engine. I already had the original compression release on the rear, pop out of the engine. I don't know if the original tech put loctite on them or not, but when I reinstalled, loctite was used.

I'm 99% sure he is talking about Marvel Mystery Oil.

It is good stuff, been around for years.

Take them out and spray the crap out of them with brake kleen. Open and close them while you do this. They probably just got some carbon build up in them.
You might also check for an intake leak. The comp releases in my old RKC started stcking. Turns out I had an intake leak. Leak fixed, releases popped out as soon as it started.
