most impressive,
and i think from the hard starting sound of your bike , sounds like the valves arent sealing properly , it also maybe not this .

That is very cool.
What a fantastic adventure and that is one hell of a video!

Let this forum know what you're up to as you travel around the country and I'm sure you'll have no problems getting places to stay or any other help you might need.

it just sounded like a honda engine at work , hard to start and then when going it was fine .
we thought the engine may have been low on the compression, but not just valves and now good as a new one .
if your biks all serviced all the time , then id guess its the valves . if you do a compression test and it down , it may be still the valves .
does the bike use much oil at all , if not then id go with the valves first .

Let me know the answer when you find out , id like to know if im wrong or not
