9 psi is fine.
It is likely your new port plugs that are leaking. You said it held 9 psi, but now its leaking again. If it held it held, if it's leaking it's leaking. Be sure your 'hitch pin' or what ever you got going on is not leaking.

See that's what I thought, I tightened the plug up as much as I can, it's a VERY slow leak now. Working on it.Originally Posted by DohcBikes
Do you think a leak that small would throw the jetting off to the point where I keep overheating it? Needle says 35F on it

You need to measure your bore, or have it measured, as previously suggested.
Yes an air leak can cause it to run lean enough to seize.

As John Tice, a professional in this field suggested earlier, you need to have your bore measured with the proper tool; a bore mic or dial bore gauge. If you want pro results you have to use pro methods.

I'm still convinced this is a jetting issue. He told me when I brought the first piston back that they usually bore it a few thousandths over on these motors.
I'm not trying toon your opinion, I'm going to make some phone calls and do a bit of research. I'm going to look into having JSR dyno tune the engine, I'm curious what the power curve looks like, I can't find anything on the web.

Someplace in here it‘s said that Wiesco is the problem? What is the Wiesco problem?
How can the best in the business be the problem? On occasion Wiesco had packaged the wrong set of rings; that’s all I’ve ever seen.

Local shop that I called said that. Makes me question their experience and abilities. The shop I had do the work has experience with these motors, told me a wealth of info. I don't think wiseco is the problem, I'm still convinced it's a tuning issue. That makes way more sense to me.
Don't overlook the small things, pay attention to what YOUR machine is doing. You can do a lot of things through the internet but you can't ride a machine through it... Yet.

well ime... that usually leads to "screw it, I'll sell it for $500 and use the rest of the money I have saved up to buy something "nice."" Then I have another bike with loads of unfixed problems.
If I buy another bike it'll be something brand new, or a few years old with low hours. Or I'll be prepared to put in $1k+ fixing it.
