back to the hawk bored
So its been awhile , i decided at the end of last season i would take this riding season off and let my sexy hawk sit in my entry room and all was going well till people started to say i forgot how to ride or my last crash messed with my head ( it may have just a bit but not enough to quit ) so what do i do
i pulled the hawk from the house to the garage threw some air in the tires , topped of the fuel and fired up ahhh the sweet sound of this twin almost like sex LOL
anyways i kick threw the gears and ya she will still do the 100mph but kinda low on torq like will not power the front end up at all kinda pissing me off
so i figure ill pull the clutch apart as i have not changed it since i have had the bike 2012 with 19xxx on her but now shes at the mid end of 60xxx clutch for the most part looks great
i do a cold compression test and find that the rear is around 160psi and front 165 throttle open ,
looks like its time for a diff motor
unless im missing something

I was wondering why you decided it's new motor time? Compression numbers sound fine to me. Clutch pics are hard to judge over a computer screen. Slip is easy to identify, if you know it's is, swap a new pack in there.
Definitely need to address those broken choke pieces.

as for a new motor that is worst case that i cant figure out why this is down on power

mileyguard, Wicky just gave you a hint, start with the simple things first, your compression is fine, you have nothing to worry till it drop's to around the 140's and even then it still going to run.
Also, the clutch doesn't look that bad at all.

so parts are on the way one is waiting for the bike ( choke cable ) does this just pull out of the carb or ? it dosent look like ill get everything i ordered by sat but i will get what is needed to fire up the motor 
also i read the thred on the cct install , stupid question would it be easyer to do this with out the plugs installed so you would not have to fight the compression , i only ask this as the plugs are not currently in the bike
not gonna lie i am kinda afrade of the click of doom so i may just say the heck with it hand take it to the local honda shop and have them install them

With the damaged choke it's like a leaking collapsed lung on a human being - fix before doing anything...
Installing MCCCTS is a 2hour - afternoon's job IF you read the instructions and have no problem i.e. knackered generator plug, getting the airbox screws out, having the right /sufficient tools...

Short in front.
Maybe someone else will chime in, but I wonder if there is a hole in the rear diaphragm.
