Compression release

[kyle]

Help I found this about mid ride and went straight home.

How hard is this to fix?

Well since it's the front one it will be a lot easier, you need the special 2 piece socket. Hardest part is putting the new rubber cap on if you change it without removing the rocker box.

I am a firm believer is what you do to one side you do to the other at the same time, or you will have to do the remaining side when you least want to

How do I get the special socket?

I borrowed one from a member on here, there may be one floating around someone will loan you. Otherwise I think that Curtis will loan it if you buy the compression release from him but am not sure so may want to check with him on that

Are these electric? I do not see any wires. 2008 k9 carb

Yes they are electric. The wire runs down the little space between the rocker box and the heads.





You can get the parts just about any place. Curtis, Donna, JPCycle, etc....

Nothing can fall into the cylinder. I also have the tool, if you'd like to borrow it, just PM me your name and address, I'll mail it to you. I did a how to on the CR replacement.

There you go! Great for doing this for him.

Man you are awesome, would you use any lubes as you assemble?

So my plan is to replace both the front and rear. It might take me a day, but seams simple and I will be intentionally slow just to be sure I do it correctly
