Thanks to all for the suggestions, the compression was way low on the RH
cylinder but a squirt of oil fixed that. As it turns out the timing
could have been a bit better too ;) The happy ending is that the bike
runs really well right now and I can sleep at night, thanks again.
By the way, I recall a discussion from a month ago where folks were
talking about LH vs RH timing. I think I
understand the idea of optimising/compromising the timing between the
two cylinders, but what is the best way to add RH marks on the pulley?

Sometimes on a fresh motor the rings need a little boost, if your compression is low try putting a small amount of oil in each cylinder, maybe about 1/4 of a thimble full, its helped in the past |
