done full service on my bike today , all was going well till i set up my carb balancer . cylinders 1, 3, 4 are bang on but cylinder 2 is way low. guess i will have to check compression and valve clearances tomorrow, bikes only done 26k so i cant see either being an issue, anyone any ideas on this one?

Did you check your balancer calibration first by connecting all 4 meters to one cylinder?

Hello!
