    Bikes runs but front left cylinder is not firing

    I got my bike up and running finally but it ran rather rough and I felt the exhaust and the front left is dead cold. Did a compression test and it started at 90 psi and finished at 150 psi so I assume the issue is not mechanical. The plug was not wet and looked clean. I swapped over the plug...

    All the recent talk about exhaust sounds has got me curious about what is the most efficient exhaust between how UFO does their 4-2 and how Marks does their 4-2 I've looked in the manual and am not sure I understand the chart.

    2 cylinders not firing at low rpm

    I am having fits w my 95 vmax not wanting to run at low rpm. At first I thought it was the low rpm circuit in the carbs but it was running perfect only a few days ago and I went through the carbs just to make sure. It seams that the front right and rear left cylinder are not firing at low rpm...

    firing order

    The factory service manual states that the firing order is 1-3-4-2, but on the same page it shows a diagram that coflicts this. Per the diagram it looks as if it is 1-3-2-4. Which is correct?
