hello Evilchicken,
Got the carbs off, no difference in the compression readings, so it looks like engine out is a must now, while its out at least i can get into the crevices and get it nice and clean, I might even but some new hoses and replace all of them, I really hope its no worse than rings or Headgasket as i didnt really want to spend a fortune on her but if it is so be it...thanks again Tommo |

| Hello Vince, Ive thrown a cover over the old girl for the time being, Im undecided exactly what to do, I might rebuild it and run it for a couple of hundred miles to see if it frees things off, If not then completely take it to bits, Ive been busy just lately with the other bikes, I pick a new zx10r tomorrow trading my cbr1000rr fireblade in for it as that was a rubbish bike, Bad gearbox and burning oil real bad, Not bad aye for a 2012 bike with only 560 miles on the clock, Never buy a fireblade mate they are made from scrap...kindest regards Tommo |

Okay no fireblade than…
It’s no Bimota but I can only speak for my self ….. I like zx10r pics also. 
That’s what I should do, ride the Bim for a while. (Stop when it’s getting worse)
Probable you will find more “things” on your sb6.
Than you can fix it at once.
I think most sb6 riders start that way…

All very well saying ride it but if it's the rings it could soure the bores. That could be the difference between honing and a rebore.

Of course .... but I'd say if you're going to the trouble of changing the oil it's better to do a big bore while you're at it.

You know it makes sense 
You need to ride it now so you'll be able to compare the performance when you do finally big bore it ...
