do the valve clearance, it will transform your engine

It really will! Just make sure you do it from TDC cause thats important isnt that right gottagetacheaperhobby??

After oil change etc finally start my bike today it feels as it's lost half it's compression? But will only start if I give it a little throttle while kicking it and noticed smoke coming out my air filter?

GREAT to hear the oil stopped the bubbling sound, really sounds like it either wasnt full enough or was just not thick enough!! Make sure you do the valves from TDC or you may have a large problem(s) :thumbup:

Read above!

biggest thing is to line up the cam marking correctly, id trust that more than the tdc mark for your fly wheel

yep, cam marking is the way to go, some flywheels have the TDC line wayyy out...

wayyy out?
it shouldn't be more than a couple of mm's off lining up
anything more than 5mm i would be replacing the timing chain because it is very stretched

yea, on my friends 110 (his first bike) i went to valve clearences, and it was out by a long shhot. he did thrash it pretty hard though, it was one of those TDR 110's.
