Here is the direct link to the video (without logging in google)

Seems like a great deal, and maybe an easy one to fix.

The video shows nothing useful, but I agree that it could be a good deal.

 Why does ever CL ad for a non running bike state "It has good compression" ? I'll bet that in 99.99% of the time no one has actually ran a compression or leak down test .

"The engine is harder to turn in some spots than others, so it has good compression."
