This blows

Thanks guys for the replies. Yes the bike worked before i took it apart. All there was was a little ticking noise that was rmp dependant (not wheel rotation). i took the tensioner out to fiddle with it as i heard it was likely the cause and when i put it back in i didnt engage it. The bike wouldnt run so i checked the timing and indeed the exhaust cam was a single tooth off. i put it back in time but still nothing.

I have no compression now but if i take the hose itself and blow into the cylinder i cant blow through it at TDC. i forgot to check other positions to determine if the valves are stuck closed but i will tomorrow.

How would i check the valves? do i remove the cylinder head and look from underneath?

Thanks again guys im really stuck trying to figure this thing out

Leakdown test should point you in the right direction.

Valve clearances?

Thanks guys. ill be doing a leakdown test tomorrow.
this thread was actually supposed to be a reply to my earlier post of "stretched cam chain?" or something like that but i clicked the wrong button.
