If the valves are too tight, they can fail to close completely after it gets hot. This would cause you to lose compression, but maybe only after riding for a while. I would definitely recommend getting a shop manual for it before attempting to do the valve adjustment or any other major maintenance or repair. Where are you located?

That certainly puts a new face on teh torch don't it? That's pretty much a rape price..... That diaphragm probably only costs 15 cents to make huh..... Sorry about the troubles. I have found anything I can buy and get "normal" quality with,.... is definitely purchased somewhere besides the dealership.

Have you tried Bikebandit.com?
