Hi everyone

Has anyone purchased the compression release from Accu products off of e-bay?  If so how about some feedback on the product and any pictures if possible.  Also someone earlier was looking for replacement footpeg bracket.  I was checking out the Pro Circuit web site and they offer one but there was no picture available thought I would pass this along.

Sorry about that, I don't know when people are using the search feature.  The member that has the compression release has not posted in more than a year.  I have made an attempt to contact him and I am waiting for a reply.  As soon as I hear something I will let you know.  I hope we have not lost him as a member.  I too would like a compression release because of my right knee problem.  He complained of oily gook at the release on the back side of the cylinder.  He might have bad jetting or wrong oil mix.  When I was a kid all two strokes had 2 spark plug holes in the head.  Most guys would have a compression release in the second hole and use it as a brake.  This was back in the early 70's.  Does anyone remember them thar days?

No problem Danger just trying to get another point of view. My bike usually starts on the 2nd or 3rd kick but when your only 5'8 and you stall out in a bad area off camber ect... it could be a bear to start while trying to balance on one foot and give it a good whack with the other foot you know what I mean?  Yes I remember the 2 hole heads back in the day.  I seem to recall the that the open class Maico's (back in the good ol day's) had a compression release.
