My ex police K1100 LT recently suddenly lost power on the dual carriageway and seemed to be only running on 3 cylinders. I managed to limp the bike home and park it up pending further investigation at a later date. I have since discovered that there is zero compression on the number 3 cylinder (assuming cylinder 1 at the front of the engine). Is this something that any of the knowledgeable members of this forum could advise me on and suggest possible ways forward ?
Thanks in anticipation
