So.... I think my motor is shot...
It used to have decent get up and go, but since I had the brakes done at the dealer, it barely gets out of its own way Does anyone know a place to get a good replacement motor for an 83 GS in otherwise good condition? I am not looking to mod it really, but I want something that will make it respond like it is supposed to... How much should I spend? Are rebuilts worth it?

its means low compression on one of the rotors,
which means one or more of your apex seals are shot,
think of an apex seal as a piston ring
they are designed to last a really long time but if you dont keep your oil and internal components of your engin clean then they will go bad,
the apex seal is designed to "push out" as it wears,
so you never know exactly how worn it is until it is all the way gone,
pretty eficient huh
have you thought about the atf trick?
i will post some old thread in a second,
i have to dig them up
