[QUOTE="83gl1200, post: 139257, member: 3756"] Before pulling the head I went over everything one more time, and thanks to Joe's suggestion of checking compression with a finger if that's all you have I found it had compression on that cyl. As it turns out, that spark plug sparked fine when laying on the block but for whatever reason wouldn't actually ignite the cylinder. I thought I had tried swapping plugs to other cylinders because i did pull them and didnt keep track to put them back in the same spot but that plug must have randomly made it back into the same cyl. I tried it in another cyl and the symptoms followed the spark plug, tried another plug in no 4 and it fired instantly. After I was done dancing with glee I went to the auto parts store, spent $10 on four new NGK plugs, and ripped up a few miles of riding just to confirm it had full power again and it did. I have put about 50 miles on since then and it managed to stay working, no more overheating ignition module either, so I took it into dmv and invested in registering and titling it. It's taken forever but finally its running good. Thank you all. 60 mph in 4th gear only takes 3500 rpm, 5th gear is best for 65+. After all this time it is finally paying off. However the bike still looks like total crap, I spent so much time and money on mechanicals that cosmetics are suffering. And technically I still have more wiring to deal with before I can fix cosmetics, none of the lights or turn signals work except brake light. [/QUOTE]
