I installed a compression release on my KTM 540 TECATE 3wheeler to take the strain off me and the bike ,looks like it will work well . I am waiting for the right tap to finish it up.

I've heard conflicting reports about putting the decompress in the head.
"Yes its broken, but does that really surprise you?."
"What happened? What does it look like happened?!?!"

The compression release works wonderfully as a engine brake . The back brake in effect is about doubled . But the engine will not start with the compression release on, warm or cold . KTM came with a PAS power system in the jug ,it was sealed when the jug was sleeved . I'll open it up and see if that helps

Opened up the PAS port in the jug , put the x dimension at max (.050) or 2.2 mm and timed the motor . It still is not easy but I can kick start it cold now with out rolling down the hill or using the compression release.
