    Leak down tester - Anyone willing to lend one out in auckland

    Does anyone in Auckland have a leak down tester they would lend me for a few days? Bike is a ktm505sx-f and it has 10mm spark plug holes.

    My research has shown that the motion pro kit is the best one with a 10mm hose/adaptor but cycletreads wants $400 for it.

    I'm trying to diagnose a hard starting problem.

    Valves are what I am concerned about, I've replaced the piston and rings without touching the valves . And It's still not quite right. The tuner suspected the valves were leaking which is why I want to borrow a leakdown tester to confirm.

    Plus the bike has auto-decompression so a compression tester wont work.
