Hi all, I think one of my cylinders is not firing properly on my H2, have replaced plugs, but not sure how to check if all cylinders are working ok. As the power just isnt there. Please help

best bet is get a compression tester, usually about £20 (halfords or ebay)

start it up from cold and touch the exhaust headers one by one every few seconds .. the one that takes longest to warm up, (or doesnt) is the one thats not firing

Top tip...................... wet your finger before touching
