....In regards to the compression release..... you are talking about they are they buttons on top of the rockers?......
Yes

.... And, to test them I just need to rest my finger on top of them and hit the starter and the button should pull away? .....
you need to push down lightly on the rubber cover till you feel the button underneath. when the motor starts to spin you should feel the button "pull in" for about a second.

..... I can depress them manually, but I'm not sure what's supposed to happen when I do that....
when you press them firmly you should feel them go down and click. then they should release compression for one revolution the next time the motor spins over.

DAMN! I'm glad I know what wrenches are for.so I CAN FIX my own shit.

Look, these are not peddle bikes, they over priced toys. You bought yours, not me.
You made the choice to buy a BIG DOG custom motorcycle. You ride like you want, easy, hard or just beat the shit out of it.
Most of what I have read is a bunch of cry babies who can't turn a wrench, read a tape measure, little lone a micrometer
and have to pay people like me because all they have is money and an ego, go figure.

So in closing, grow up, shut up and ride your bike. If you can't that's your tough shit, start eating.

MY 2 cents for 2016!

BTW, I ride almost every day on MY BIG DOG chopper. It was 30 degrees today with 15-20 mph winds.

thank you and good night

fire away, I can take it cuz I work for a living.

I don't recall anyone askin you to fix their bike for them. Not everybody is a master mechanic and some are even brand new to the dogs. lighten up and give these guys a break, that's what this forum is all about! My 2 cents worth with change. Stay safe

There is no such thing as a "MASTER MECHANIC". I did my own ultralite aircraft so I guess I'm
an "AIRCRAFT MECHANIC" too.

Damn I are good!

I do a bunch of my own work on both bikes and cars, but my ego isn't so big that I don't know where to draw the line. Once it gets to a certain point, I call a professional. Just like anyone who works for a living you are paid because you are supposed to be a professional or at least good at something. Bragging about being good at something is like bragging about being alive. It's what your supposed to do. Be good at something that provides value to a community. Pretty sure I'm not impressed that you can do everything yourself. That's one thing you can do, perhaps there are more, but I doubt you can build a global, enterprise software system that over 50 million people use everyday bringing in about $8 billion (that's a B) a year (see how stupid it sounds to brag). If you can, then great. You are indeed a gift to humanity. :job:

So, go ahead and measure your dick. I'll go ahead and measure the number of 0's at the end of my bank accounts. Then, I'll measure my dick and let you hold the ruler.

FYI - Not a normal response for me, but it's a new year and I felt like giving something different a try. :oldcool:
