    Had low compression In one cylinder something has let go inside the engine not sure what to do with it now,I'm not a great mechanic so maybe best to get looked at first before making a decision,I love the bike and want to keep it and slowly fix it up because they are getting hard to get now.

    What exactly are the symptoms of your problem?
    How did you determine you have low compression? Did you do a compression test?
    If so, what prompted you to do a compression test? Engine noises, rough running? Burning oil?
    A bit more detail might enable us to provide more meaningful advice.

    Hi the mechanic I took it too done a compression check and said it had low compression in one cylinder,I've been riding it for about 8 months until this engine problem,I was more asking if it's worth holding on to and fixing I do love riding it what a killer bike it will be when not having problems

    Have you done a valve clearance check? A tight valve will give you low/no compression too.
