    Re: No Compression

    No, reeds have nothing to do with compression. The only things that effect compression are the pistons/rings, cylinders walls, head and head gasket.

      Your piston/crank came apart breaking the reed in the process. 701 come with the steel reeds, and dont mix well with other steel/aluminum parts.
      Take off the head and you should see the damage. My best advice is go with a SBT and get a one year warrenty that will give you piece of mind.
