You need the supplement manual and then you have to do the prescribed test procedures as outlined in the supplement. If you don't have the manual I believe I can email it to you. |

No change in the gear ratio at all, it's identical. Just put a GL1500 final drive with 96,000 KM's on it in my bike and it's working great and it only cost me $40. on Ebay. They are much cheaper and heavier duty than the GL1200 final drive. |

Interestingly enough there was an even harder ride option available but most people were warned against it at the dealer. I bet you'll get out there and enjoy it every now and then, you can't help but have fun in that car and the bonus is that it's a Chevy so cheap parts will always abound for it. E... |

That's why I held out for the 86. The hard ride of the 84/85 was a little crazy. |

You should also perform the compression test with the engine warm, makes a difference in pressure. For wet test you add a teaspoon of motor oil in the spark plug hole and perform the test. If compression comes up greatly then you have bad rings/cylinder walls, if no change after adding the oil then ... |
