    had enough now went to start my bike earlier just kept turning and turning nothing happened then it started to backfire. ive checked for compression and spark cleaned out the carb and everything is fine but still... nothing. i have been told that it could be reed valves so going to five that a go tomorrow. this bike is just turning into a money pit haha. needs a tyre rear brake cable as the adjust has snapped off, reed valves by the sounds of it and gearbox bearings. NIGHTMARE!!!!!!!! are reed valves easy to changee??
