Had made arrangements to have the valves checked in a week... so the next Sunday I rode a group asphalt ride and the Tenere ran well. Monday I rode for daily transportation. The night was cool, the engine ran a bit rough and there was noticeable increase in engine braking. Tuesday morning got ready to ride to Lodi and watch / help Don in Lodi with a few projects. The Tenere tried to start with loud CCT noise. Would not start Had it towed to the dealership on 1/27. Today I discovered they pulled the spark plugs, ran a Compression test and then a Leak Down test.
Compression test: 167 and 171
Standard compression is 96.7
Minimum - Maximum is 83.9 - 108.1
Leak Down was 96% and 96%
They said the leakage was caused by the intake valves
Said they called Yamaha and are waiting for an answer. Also they questioned me what my riding style is and documented it.
I asked them to check the Cam Chain and Timing. Not sure if they will check the cam chain and timing but it has been documented. Waiting for Yamaha with a hopeful attitude.
Thoughts?
