    RZV500 compression

    Hi all I have an issue with the top right cylinder power seeming low! The spark is good, I have done a compression check lower cylinders both 130 PS and upper cylinders are both 140 so no problem there! The power valves seem to be operating properly although I have only watched the linkage operate when I turn on the ignition.
    Anyone got any ideas what the problem could be.
    When I rev the engine that cylinder just seems weak and unresponsive to the throttle
    Thanks for any help

    might be a carburation issue or a fouled plug.
    I would try a fresh sparkplug in the first instance.
    If you have fuel, compression and spark, it should run.
    Compression good then it is either spark or fuel issue
    Good luck
